Terroristes

How and why does one become a terrorist? How does a judge rule on these particular cases and why is his mission so perilous? What is France's position on a phenomenon that knows no borders?For the first time, a highly respected prosecuting judge takes us to the heart of the terrorist system, a universe as fascinating as it is alarming. He daringly takes on the role of apprentice terrorist to demonstrate the mechanics of how a young man or woman insidiously progresses towards madness.Above and beyond these edifying individual stories is the question of serving justice. Despite a well-informed and vigilant judiciary system, sentence cannot be passed due to lack of proof and hard evidence: a terrorist is not a terrorist until he acts.
