The Times has produced a virtual-reality film about the war in Iraq that transports you directly into the violent center of the unraveling. “The Fight for Falluja” allows viewers to experience, firsthand, the battles that Iraqi forces endured to retake Falluja form ISIS this June. Ben C. Solomon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning filmmaker and video journalist for The New York Times, chronicles the push to retake the city and the aftermath, not just of that battle but of the larger war that has devastated the entire region.
