Inside The War on ISIS - One woman alone at the front line
In 2016, while global media covered the war in Mosul from a distance, Czech war photographer Jana Andert went in alone. Without backing, crew, or formal security, this action-packed film documents her eight months embedded with Iraq’s elite Golden Division, where she lived through the chaos, fear, and resilience that define frontline warfare.
This gripping documentary captures her fearless pursuit of truth and proximity, revealing a personal and political act of bearing witness far beyond the boundaries of institutional journalism. It's a story of war told not through commentary, but through presence.
