Program Description

Event Details

Mosul, based on true events, is the story of the Nineveh SWAT team in Mosul, Iraq, that fought to retake the city from the Islamic State. The story centers around the SWAT team leader, Major Jase, who believably switches between killing IS fighters, urging his “sons” and comrades to drink water during their missions, and befriending a boy on a dirt road. He is the heart of the story, turning events into experiences seen through his own eyes and making the loss Iraqis have suffered—and the sliver of hope they hold onto for a better future—achingly palpable.
