Smiling children enjoy fairground rides and a small boy eagerly waves at the camera while a candy-coloured big wheel turns in the distance .

Scroll down for video . Propaganda : Smiling children enjoy fairground rides at Dijla City in Islamic State 's most recent propaganda video . The ISIS interviewer asks one child , who is standing alongside an armed companion , what his life is like under the Islamic State caliphate . The scenes could be from any park , anywhere in the world , but these children live under the control of ISIS . The video , entitled 'Citizens ’ Days Out in the Shadow of the Islamic State ' and published today , is an attempt to depict an idealised version of everyday life under the caliphate . Charlie Winter , a researcher at the Quilliam Foundation , a counter-extremism think tank , analysed the footage . 'In the video , we see men and children playing in Dijla City theme park , which is located just on the outside of Mosul in northern Iraq , ' Mr Winter said . 'While it may seem a strange addition to IS ’ s propaganda repertoire , is nothing unusual . 'Just as they do in many other videos like this , the propagandists are peddling the idea that there has been a total reversal of the status quo for Sunni Muslims in IS-held territory . 'They are trying to promote the idea that the IS caliphate is a true utopia , where Sunni children are free to play safely , free from persecution and injustice . 'Safe to say , this is a heavily idealised version of events .

All the fun of the ISIS : Shot in Dijla City , a fairground just north of the Iraqi city Mosul , children and adults what life is like under ISIS control . The ISIS interviewer asks one child , who is standing alongside an armed companion , what his life is like . He replies : 'It is a life that is comfortable and God has willed it that it is like this in the Islamic State , which will remain by the permission of God . ' Another reveals it is 'very good ' and he is 'at ease ' . A man , who carries a young girl in his arms , tells the interviewer : ' I mean , this situation is what God prefers , he is great , it is preferred by God the Almighty , all is good here , there is security that is enviable .

The footage , which shows no women , could n't be more different to chilling new images of a sword-wielding ISIS executioner publicly beheading three men accused of homosexuality and blasphemy , also in northern Iraq . The jihadist group , which controls swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria , has carried out hundreds of barbaric executions as it has imposed its brutal version of Islamic law , many of which are photographed or videotaped . The Sharia code of conduct is enforced in areas under its control ranging from 80 lashes for drinking alcohol and losing a hand for theft , to death for committing blasphemy .
New propaganda video purports to show life under Islamic State caliphate . The footage was shot in Dijla City , a fairground just north of Mosul in Iraq . It shows the city as it used to be before ISIS took over and turned its citizens into slaves.
