Details
City of Ghosts (2017) is a powerful and gripping documentary that tells the story of Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group of anonymous activists who courageously fought against ISIS. This film offers deeply personal access to the lives of these citizen journalists as they navigate the dangerous realities of life undercover, on the run, and in exile.
In 2014, ISIS took control of Raqqa, the capital of Syria, and imposed a reign of terror on its residents. RBSS emerged as a response to this brutality, using social media as a platform to expose the atrocities committed by the extremist group. They risked their lives to gather and disseminate information that countered ISIS propaganda, with the goal of providing the world with an unfiltered view of the horrors unfolding in Raqqa.
City of Ghosts showcases the immense bravery and resilience of these activists, who lived under constant threat from ISIS. The documentary highlights their struggles, sacrifices, and the personal toll their work took on their mental and emotional well-being. It is a testament to the power of journalism in the face of adversity and a reminder of the importance of bearing witness to the truth.
This critically-acclaimed film sheds light on the escalating threat of ISIS and highlights the crucial role citizen journalism plays in combatting it. City of Ghosts offers a raw and unflinching look at the ongoing crisis in Syria, leaving audiences with a profound understanding of the sacrifices made by those brave enough to speak out against evil.
