City Of Ghosts review: A powerful documentary about a group of extraordinary Syrians
YOU will require a strong constitution to endure City Of Ghosts but the reward is a powerful documentary about a group of extraordinary Syrians who dared to challenge the savagery of IS.
(Cert 18; 92mins)
The city of Raqqa was seized in March 2014 and IS have met any opposition to their rule with executions.
RBSS (Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered In Silence) is the name adopted by journalists who have risked their lives to let the world know of their city’s suffering.
The footage of relentless atrocity has often provided the only record of Raqqa under IS and many RBSS members have paid with their lives. City Of Ghosts salutes RBSS while reminding us how little was being done to bring the nightmare to an end.
