在这部招募圣战者纪录片片中,挪威导演历时三年，深入“虎穴”（挪威的圣战组织内部）拍摄，纪录了几乎让全世界记者嫉妒的影像资料。然而本片主人公，也是招募人，不久后被挪威警方逮捕，罪名自然是支持极端主义。所以本片制片团队极力申诉，官司一直打到挪威最高法院，争取新闻自由。
For three years a well-known Norwegian extremist gives unique access to his everyday life encouraging jihadists in Europe until he is arrested for supporting terrorism by recruiting for ISIS. This extremely timely film highlights the tension between free societies and those who take advantage of their values while seeking to undermine them. Recruiting for Jihad is especially resonant and newsworthy given the deadly incidents in Stockholm, London, Berlin, Nice, San Bernardino, Paris and elsewhere.
