Those fighting to liberate the country's second city include the regular army, the Kurdish peshmerga, and a broader US-led coalition providing air support. However our colleagues at France 2 met with another group taking part in the operation: civilian medics from the US who have travelled to Iraq at their own expense to help with the war effort. A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Elom Marcel Toble.
