Former Royal Marine Emile Ghessen, joined the Royal Marines and serve his country for 12 years. After several tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, it was time to move on. But his visits to war zones did not stop there. Inspired to discover how Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John, who went to the same school as his and lived 400 metres from him, could join the ISIS Islamic terrorist group, Emile swapped his gun for a camera and decided to document that story, and the story of volunteer fighters leaving the comfort of their normal lives in Europe, to fight ISIS. What he discovered turned into the documentary Robin Hood Complex, The Fight Against Islamic State. He has gone on to make two more documentaries covering the war in Ukraine and recently returned from Armenia. He brings the human story to life, with raw and powerful accounts of war and the capacity of the human spirit.
