Description

In October of 2016 the battle for Mosul, the Islamic State's self-proclaimed capital in northern Iraq, began.

From street to street, they fight together to regain this city of two million inhabitants. Though successful, the hopes of the Kurdish fighters might not always align with those of their allies.
