WATCH: A Conversation With Teens in Training as ISIS Suicide Bombers - PBS

Few journalists have reported safely from inside ISIS-held territory in Eastern Afghanistan, where the terror group that has claimed responsibility for last Friday’s attacks in Paris has been gaining ground over the past year.

But after eight months of trying, FRONTLINE’s Najibullah Quraishi made his way in this past summer, capturing what he saw on film.

The resulting documentary, ISIS in Afghanistan, premieres tomorrow night on FRONTLINE. It’s a rare, firsthand look how the self-proclaimed Islamic State is expanding its grip in the country, fighting some members of the Taliban and co-opting others, all while stepping up attacks against Afghan forces.

It’s also a record of one particularly disturbing way the group is trying to expand its influence: training children and teenagers to become the next generation of jihadis.
