Shamima Begum: ISIS terrorist...or victim of grooming in East London?

Shamima Begum is a Muslim woman who fled East London in the UK to join ISIS as a bride and terrorist when she was just 15 years old. But is she a terrorist or a victim of grooming? And should the UK give her back her passport, while she languishes in a Syrian prison. Andrew Drury is the journalist who got to know Shamima Begum personally, and is dismayed by her personality. He is an adventure tourist, who appeared in Dark Tourist, the Netflix series with journalist David Farrier. We’ll talk a bit about that, as well as his years-long texting and real-life interactions with Shamima Begum - a British born woman who left the UK in 2015 aged 15 to join ISIS.
