My favorite podcast series in the longest time. For Americans who may not know - Shamima Begum ran away from her London home aged 15 to join ISIS. This is a deep dive into the whole thing, and is really wonderful.
If you want to know what BBC impartiality really is I urge you to listen to @joshbakerstory and @joewkent’s podcast series about Shamima Begum. Forensic journalism. Gathering facts. Putting them in context. Without preconception, fear or favour. https://t.co/2UPssLnzPj
At 15, Shamima Begum ran away from her London home to join the Islamic State group in Syria.
Now she wants to come back.
Josh Baker has followed the story since Begum left the UK in 2015.
In this series he investigates what really happened.
