Profile (2018 film)

In order to investigate the recruitment of young European women by ISIS, journalist Amy Whittaker creates a new Facebook profile under the alias of Melody Nelson.

Her friend tells her he was negotiating a price and informing him of her eye colour and when she will be arriving, this helps her realise that he was trafficking her when in Syria and she goes back to England as soon as she can.

Bilel finds out her true identity and posts videos all over social media asking all ISIS supporters to kill her and she is a traitor.

The film is based on French journalist Anna Erelle's book In the Skin of a Jihadist about her investigation into the recruitment of young women by ISIS.

The site's critics consensus reads: "Profile's unique narrative gimmick is enough to carry the film partway, but it's ultimately overwhelmed by an increasingly ludicrous plot.
