Suhail Dabbach, Adam Bessa, Is’Haq Elias, Qutaiba F. Abdelhaq, Ahmad El Ghanem, Hicham Ouraqa, Mohimen Mahbuba. In June 2014, the Iraqi city of Mosul fell to ISIS . A joint-forces campaign to reclaim it began two years later and ended with the re-establishment of Iraqi control of the devastated, decimated city in July 2017.

Having now lost a family member to ISIS, Kawa is qualified to join Ninevah SWAT, though not trusted enough to know their actual mission. Instead, like an Iraqi version of the Charlie Sheen character in “Platoon,” Kawa learns the ropes on the go, and over the course of a single day of bribery, bartering, bullet-dodging and brutality, goes from trembling, hesitant ingenu to war-weary, seen-it-all diehard.
