Synopsis
Czech documentarist Jana Andert left for Iraq in autumn 2016. For eight months she lived and filmed there at the front line of the battle of Mosul with Golden Division, an elite Iraq Army squad. She arrived there at her own expense, without support of any big TV stations she usually works for. Thanks to that she could be completely independent and didn´t have to respect any security measures usually imposed by those stations. She just wanted to be at the front line.
