The documentary “City of Ghosts” profiles the Syrian activists from the group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently as they report on the takeover of their hometown by the Islamic State. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Matthew Heineman follows the key organizers as their group experiences exile and assassination, but succeeds in overcoming the wall of silence.
