Vice gained incredible access to the group formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL), which threatened to raise its flag over the White House in part one of the five part series.

"For us, we believe that this generation of children is the generation of the Caliphate," one ISIS fighter says.
