actors: Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) journalists

City of Ghosts follows a group of anonymous Syrian citizen journalists who risk their lives reporting on ISIS from Raqqa. Using diaspora networks to broadcast the horrors they witness, they balance courage with fear as bombs fall and threats intensify. Director Matthew Heineman uses intimate, cinéma vérité footage to chronicle their relentless pursuit of truth, the high price of journalism under terror, and how online voices become a beacon for the world.
