ISIS is on the rise in Afghanistan — and they say they're getting young kids to join the jihad. In a Nov. 17 special report, FRONTLINE reveals on film the degree to which ISIS is gaining a foothold in the country, and how they’re focusing their efforts on training a new generation of jihadists. Also this hour: exploring a Pakistan police unit's fight against the Taliban.
