Dans les ruines de Mossoul - Don’t Come Back

2023 · 53m · Documentary

July 2017, liberated Mosul lies in ruins. Ghadeer, a young journalist who took refuge in Brussels after the Islamic State took the city, decides to abandon the promise of a future in Europe to return to his people. With a few friends, he founded Radio One FM, a station independent of any religious, community or political affiliation, which could help restore peace. The first two years were those of utopia for this volunteer team: thanks to journalistic work documenting the country's difficulties, Radio One gained a national audience. But economic difficulties and the growing pressure of militias linked to the political clans fighting for control of Iraq finally got the better of the enterprise.
