In 2015, she travelled from the UK to Syria via Turkey with three friends aged just 15 to join ISIS and was the only one to survive the so-called Caliphate. Four years later, she tried to return home from her Syrian prison camp and a hugely controversial legal battle ensued, during which her citizenship was revoked and she was barred from returning to Britain, a ruling that she appealed and lost, most recently in February 2021.“For more than a year, I have been building on the work I started in 2015, examining Begum’s account of what happened and retracing her steps,” he added.
Baker and Joe Kent are producing the Begum series with series editor Emma Rippon for BBC Long Form Audio. Doc and podcast was commissioned by Dylan Haskins. Baker is also director, producer is Sara Obeidat and Sasha Joelle Achilli, and the executive producer is Sarah Waldron.
