Directed, produced, and filmed by Academy Award–nominated
and Emmy-winning filmmaker Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land, 2015 Sundance
Film Festival Directing Award), City of Ghosts is a singularly
powerful cinematic experience that is sure to shake audiences to their core as
it elevates the canon of one of the most talented documentary filmmakers
working today. Captivating in its immediacy, City of Ghosts
follows the journey of “Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently” – a handful of
anonymous activists who banded together after their homeland was taken over by
ISIS in 2014. With astonishing, deeply personal access, this is the story of a
brave group of citizen journalists as they face the realities of life
undercover, on the run, and in exile, risking their lives to stand up against
one of the greatest evils in the world today.Watch Trailer HERE---------------------------Featuring Post Show Talk Q&A with:Helon Habila | NigeriaHelon Habila was born in Nigeria and is now an associate professor of creative writing at George Mason University in the US.
