“Mosul,” the first international film in Iraqi dialect telling the “heroic” stories of the “Iraqi forces,” is coming to Netflix on Nov. 26.

The idea of the film, produced by brothers Anthony and Joe Ross, came from an article published by The New Yorker during the battle to liberate Mosul, which was launched in October 2016. The Ross brothers decided to turn the story into a movie.
