Though it has faced criticism for a group of white guys writing, directing and producing a film from the point of view of Iraqi people battling ISIS, the thriller Mosul is still on the way via Netflix. See the trailer below.
Written and directed by Matthew Michael Carnahan and produced by Joe and Anthony Russo (who have been busy pumping out projects for Netflix), the Arabic language film is set in the titular conflicted locale and is based on a true story.
When ISIS took their homes, families and city, one group of men fought to take it all back. After inexperienced Iraqi cop Kawa (Adam Bessa) is rescued from a harrowing firefight by the elite Nineveh SWAT team, he’s quickly inducted into the rogue squadron, a band of ten brothers-in-arms led by the wise Major Jasem (Suhail Dabbach). Under constant threat of attack, the unit embarks on a dangerous guerrilla operation, determined to wipe out an enemy base and restore order to the lawless territory.
Netlix will have this one up on the service on 26 November.
