There's little that's not dispiriting about "Among the Believers" and its measured, direct entrée into a closed world of hopeless boys and girls memorizing the Koran, but forbidden from learning its meanings. Oct 6, 2016 | Full Review…

While it is maddening to see the aversion to open-minded education by Mr. Aziz ("'Progressive thought' is dying," he declares, pleased), we also see the stark poverty that leaves others with few choices but to follow him. Sep 29, 2016 | Full Review…

It insists on seeing its subjects' humanity - something rare in the Western press, particularly when reporting on Islam, and especially fundamentalism. Sep 29, 2016 | Full Review…

Trivedi and Naqvi put together this multi-tentacled story using a daunting variety of footage, news reports and archival film mixed with interviews. It paints an extremely grim picture. Sep 2, 2016 | Full Review…

This isn't Friday night viewing, and there's certainly nothing groundbreaking here, but if you're interested in gaining insight into the rationale of Jihadism, this should certainly be a pitstop. Apr 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Aziz is shown to be at once strong, authentic, charismatic, vulnerable, boring, and a charlatan. He is not the kind of person you can easily demonize or humanize. Aug 23, 2018 | Full Review…

The film contains many chilling scenes of radicalized children, led by poverty and circumstance into a life of militancy. Many castoff children, are fed, indoctrinated, and turned into weapons in an unholy war Jan 17, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Surprise-surprise. Young boys and girls become Islamic fundamentalists in order to get a meal and a roof over their head. The answer is not Predator drones but ending inequality. Sep 30, 2016 | Full Review…

Louis Proyect
Using a seemingly detached approach that doesn't preach to the audience and understands that what it shows speaks for itself, this is an important documentary that offers a devastating look at religious fundamentalism brainwashing kids and turning them into terrorists.
