The Lions by the River Tigris: Restoring Mosul’s artefacts

Die Übersetzung ist noch nicht verfügbar. Der Originalartikel wird angezeigt.

When the ancient Iraqi city of Mosul is devastated after liberation from ISIL, three men strive to revive its beauty. In the heart of war-ravaged Mosul, two carved lions stand as a fragile link to the city’s shattered past. Bashar, a fisherman, lost his once-grand family home during the battle to liberate the city from ISIL (ISIS) nearly 10 years ago. All that remains is a marble gate crowned with lions, which he fiercely guards. Fakhri, a devoted collector determined to save Mosul’s heritage, becomes obsessed with acquiring the lions gate for his unofficial museum. His friend Fadil, a musician once silenced under ISIL, challenges him to see the human cost behind every artefact.
