One former US marine's story of fighting IS in Syria

Newsday

Available for over a year

We hear a lot about young people in the west going to Syria to fight with the so-called Islamic State. Then there's the story of those who go to fight against them. Three such men from Sweden, Italy and the US are the subject of the film "Our War" which is being shown at the Venice Film Festival. Joshua Bell is the former US marine featured in the film. He told Newsday's Lawrence Pollard why he decided to get involved. (Photo: Joshua Bell. Credit: Benedetta Argentieri)
