This film report (30 mins) maybe available in the USA via PBS, broadcast 31/1/17 and is filmed with the Golden Division i.e. Iraqi SOF:Link:https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng...irty-war-videoAs Iraqi forces attempt to retake Mosul from Isis, Guardian reporter Ghaith Abdul-Ahad joins their elite Golden Division on the frontline to examine the fight and its toll Go inside the Iraqi army's battle to take back the city of Mosul from Isis with Iraqi journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad. Ghaith reveals what retaking the city means for the future of his country. He will also discover the harsh realities of what it's like to live and survive under Isis – and under the Iraqi army.
The fight inside the city is brutal and slow, and losses are mounting with countless civilians and over 2,000 security personnel reportedly killed since the offensive began.
Iraqi special forces are leading the charge to liberate the city. We witness their struggle close-up, with the filmmakers even surviving a suicide truck bomb aimed at killing the group's leader Lt Col Muntadher, known to his troops as 'Steel'.
