The Battle of Misrata – Al Jazeera World

The Libyan revolution started in February 2011. Misrata in north western Libya was one of the main strongholds against the then President Muammar Gaddafi, along with the city of Benghazi.

In this film, we meet some of the people who not only witnessed the 13 week battle for the city but took part in some of the fiercest fighting of the civil war, with the minimum of training and experience.
