Men wielding Kalashnikov assault rifles are seen everywhere in the city, which is about 100 miles from Aleppo, Syria's largest city.

But it is not just men who have taken up arms to defend their nascent
regime. The film shows a woman in a niqab taking children to the park -
with a rifle slung over one shoulder
There is also a heart-stopping moment when an armed man in a car calls
over the woman filming, telling her she has to 'behave better' in
public.
Her crime? Her face can be seen, something forbidden by the militants' interpretation of Islam.
She apologises for the transparency of her veil, to which the man
responds: 'You have to pay attention by covering up. God loves women who
are covered.'
The camerawoman enters an internet cafe where women are seen talking in
French and contacting family members they have left behind.
One woman tells her mother:
'I am not going back, mom. I am telling it to you bluntly. You have to get it through your head that I am not returning.I did not take the risk by coming here to go back to France. I do not want to return because I am doing well here mom. There is nothing to gain from weeping or being afraid.'
