first episode of a new series is “The Combatant.” It tells the story of a Lebanese Shi’ite boy transfixed by American action movies who is lured into combat by Hezbollah during its entry into the Syrian civil war.
@ecksmc: Arafat's PLO used to actively search for young Palestinian and other kids who were cowboy or other action movie fans and corral them into getting killed or blowing themselves up for The Cause. There were a few articles and at least one "60 Minutes" type of news show that covered it back in the late '70s or early '80s.
