REBUILDING MOSUL

Spring 2024, Mosul is buzzing with activity. Gigantic works are underway to rebuild what was destroyed: An entire city.

Particular monuments are at the heart of the site's efforts and those of the scientific teams. Starting with the famous Al-Hadba leaning minaret, a national landmark that set the pace of life in the city since the 12^th century, until it was partially demolished during war. But also the Al-Nuri mosque & the Al-Tahera church.

How do you revive the spirit of Mosul? How do you rebuild an entire city? While the war has taken its toll, it has also rekindled a common feeling: awareness of the incredible wealth of Mosul's heritage. And the need for the city to rise from its ashes.

With exceptional access to the construction sites, we follow this titanic reconstruction step by step, mobilizing Iraqi locals, site managers and international scientists - supported by UNESCO, the Louvre Museum, the Swiss ALIPH Foundation, the British Museum and the American Smithsonian Institute.
