About

An Australian aid provider goes into the heart of Iraq during the height of the Battle of Mosul. Follow the medical staff through a year of saving lives at two trauma field hospitals located outside Mosul and right next to a refugee camp. Get both insight into the real life experiences of local Iraqis as well as the experiences of the Australians as they try to survive the battle.

Notes

Originally pitched by the client as a corporate promotional video, I recommended utilising the great content and stories we had captured and turn it into a short documentary, which, as a result, won us an award in Cannes, France.
