City Of Ghosts City of Ghosts

Documentary directed by Matthew Heineman about the resistance group known as Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) and their fight against Islamic State. Comprised of people who have suffered at the hands of the terrorist organisation, some of them former college students, RBSS use their cameras and access to the Internet to document the atrocities committed by Islamic State in the devastated city of Raqqa. While Islamic State produce grandiose recruitment propaganda and proliferate it online, RBSS seek to counter their attempts by publicising footage acquired within Raqqa itself of the terrorists' oppression and butchery.

Insight is provided into the lives of the activists who risk everything they have left to fight back against Islamic State.
