Girl Next Door tells the story of Samantha Lewthwaite, known as the British terrorist ‘The White Widow’ and one of the world’s most wanted women. The film explores Lewthwaite’s early fascination with Islam, sparked by her neighbors and best friend, and her eventual descent into radicalism. Set in the days following the 7/7 London attacks in 2005, the narrative follows Sam as she grapples with her husband’s involvement in the attacks, her future as a grief-stricken mother of two, and her transformation into an ideological crusader.
