BBC推荐：7月不容错过的8部佳片

Matthew Heineman follows his Oscar-nominated Cartel Land with what the Guardian has called "the definitive contemporary documentary about the tragedy of Syria, as well as an epoch-defining piece on modern media tactics". Following the citizen journalist collective Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently as they attempt to expose human rights violations by ISIS in their home country, the film "reveals accurate information as the first weapon of resistance", according to Canada's Globe and Mail. Heineman combines footage from RBSS – which sends reports of daily events behind enemy lines from anonymous correspondents still living there – with his own interviews at Turkish and German safe houses, and according to the Hollywood Reporter offers "a double portrait of devastation, of a truly destroyed city and of partially decimated survivors".
《卫报》称马修•海涅曼的《幽灵城》“无疑是一部关于叙利亚悲剧的当代纪录片，同时也是一部在现代媒体技术方面具有划时代意义的作品”。此前，海涅曼凭借《贩毒之地》获得奥斯卡提名。据加拿大《环球邮报》介绍，《幽灵城》主要讲述了民间记者组织“拉卡人民正被悄悄屠杀”（RBSS）为曝光极端组织伊斯兰国在叙利亚侵害人权的行为所做出的努力，这部电影告诉我们，“准确的信息是奋起反抗时的第一法宝”。生活在那里的RBSS匿名记者们深入敌后将每天的新闻发送出来。海涅曼将RBSS的视频影像和他在土耳其及德国避难所进行的采访结合在一起，《好莱坞报道》称该片“从两个视角纪录了一场灾难、一个被摧毁的城市以及部分大屠杀幸存者”。
