In Wednesday’s final episode of Josh Baker’s gripping documentary about Shamima Begum, he visits a camp where the young woman from east London was once held. They call it the “mini-caliphate” because scores of children, radicalised by their mothers, hurl rocks at whomever they perceive as the infidel.
A kid of about eight years old says he wants to decapitate Baker; another, who is about five, approaches with something sharp that he perhaps wants to use as a weapon, but is disarmed when the journalist smiles at him and shows him his camera.
