Movie Dialogue Sample
254
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,200
During the rebellion against Assad-
255
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,400
I did
to edit images and videos.
256
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,800
In my opinion, have a camera
more power than one weapon.
257
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:48,800
Therefore,
That keeps the camera stronger.
258
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,700
When ISIS came to Raqqa, -
259
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:01,000
-were they spread their decrees
via CDs.
260
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:05,100
The videos were
very badly made-
261
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:09,800
- and so forth,
as if they were filmed with phones.
262
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,200
But then ISIS decided to work
more on their media than weapons.
263
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:22,600
Then all movies after the takeover
of Raqqa is professionally made-
264
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
to recruit people
to their paradise.
265
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,500
For Allah's sake.
266
00:31:33,700 --> 00:31:35,700
FOR ALLAH'S OBJECTIVE
267
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,700
WILL WE MARCH
TO PARADISE'S PORT
268
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:41,300
WHERE OUR YEAR FRUITS WAIT
269
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,000
The state has a large lack of men-
270
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:51,800
-with good media skills,
so the people can get the right news.
271
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:02,400
Major productions
with Hollywood techniques, -
272
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:07,100
-like comparable to movies
with high production value.
273
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Whatever the video is about -
274
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,900
- Always with the same effects
and the same professionalism-
275
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,000
-to attract supporters
276
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:29,000
Like the known game
Grand Theft Auto.
277
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:38,500
Why play it on the computer,
when you can do it in reality?
278
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,900
It's the media war,
as ISIS now leads-
279
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:51,300
to recruit people
to their so-called Islamic state.
280
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:58,700
But ISIS does not represent
Islam, I know.
281
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,800
They exploit Islam
for personal gain-
282
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,700
-and uses videos to do that.
283
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:19,000
After my father's video was posted,
I did not notice the effects.
284
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:22,600
I only noticed,
what eventually happened.
285
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:35,300
Two months after
we started the campaign ...
286
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,000
... promised ISIS a bounty for killing
on me or information about me
287
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,000
When ISIS realized,
that they could not get hold of me
288
00:33:56,300 --> 00:33:58,600
Did they keep my dad?
289
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,600
I watch the video tit.
290
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,000
It gives me strength.
291
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:17,200
I'm the father of the refugee
Hamoud Al-Moussa, -
292
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,600
-which fights the Islamic state.
293
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,600
I advise all fathers
to keep an eye on your sons.
294
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,000
HASSAN
HAMOUDS BROR
295
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,500
We are Muslims and believe in
296
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:25,700
that he has come to heaven
297
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,900
Praise be to God.
298
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,300
When I get angry I bleed.
-Are you okay?
299
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:50,800
I think ...
300
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,600
I do not know.
301
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,100
It's our oldest brother, Ahmed.
302
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:23,600
Two weeks ago we were told that
that ISIS had also executed him.
303
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,100
They executed our brother and father
to make us stop.
304
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,400
But we will continue.
305
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:43,500
I promise you we will continue.
306
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:53,100
RAQQA, SYRIEN
307
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:09,100
Since our campaign began,
ISIS has gone to extreme lengths-
308
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:13,500
-to prevent our members from
to work in Raqqa.
309
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,200
They set checkpoints
and investigates people and phones-
310
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:25,200
-the pursuit of recording equipment.
311
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,400
It's almost impossible
to get information out of Raqqa.
312
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,900
"RAQQA 12"
RBSS correspondent
313
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,800
ISIS abducts, kills
and just make people disappear.
314
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,200
All they designate
to be media activists.
315
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:04,700
They track everything we do.
Each photo and every video we post.
316
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:08,200
They are always trying to catch us.
317
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,500
We use satellite internet, -
