Mosul (film)

Mosul is a 2019 documentary thriller about the battle to reclaim the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State (ISIS) from 2016-2017.

The film is the directorial debut from Daniel Gabriel, who worked in the region as a CIA counter-terrorism officer, and also produced the film.

The eyewitness footage was captured over nine months by a camera crew embedded with various units of the Iraqi forces. The original score was written by Photek.

Mosul premiered at the 2019 Cleveland International Film Festival. The official release date for digital distribution is May 14, 2019, by Gravitas Ventures. The film's original score was composed by Grammy-nominated British record producer Photek. The documentary is 86 minutes long.
