MOSUL
The gritty, thrilling story of local militias and uneasy allies who banded together to liberate Iraq’s second-largest city of 1.3 million people from ISIS in 2017.
The film follows Iraqi journalist Ali Maula (Voiced-Over by Bashar Atiyat) who is embedded with the militia, along with war widow “Um Hanadi” and ISIS recruiter Nasser Issa.
The film is the directorial debut from Dan Gabriel, who worked in the region as a CIA Counter Terrorism officer, and also produced the film.
The film focuses on the intersecting narratives of the various Iraqi ethnic groups that were involved in the operation: Sunni tribesman, Shiite militias, Christian fighters, and Kurdish Peshmerga forces. The eyewitness footage was captured over nine months by a camera crew embedded with various units of the Iraqi forces.
Film Inquiry quoted it as “Gritty, powerful and honest, the film begs to be experienced, discussed, and remembered” while Art & Entertainment Reporter Laura DeMarco called it “a gripping narrative of life during ‘total warfare’.”
