CITY OF GHOSTS

Recommended. I'm a follower of news on ISIS, have seen a number of documentaries on the subject on the big screen and on the small one. Yet this film shows things even I didn't know about, e.g. the way little children are recruited and trained - practising slitting a throat on a teddy bear - or how the ISIS media marketing works: not only have they gone a long way since primitive home-style videos,  currently incorporating Hollywood-level CGIs but also are made game-like to convey the message that it's like Grand Theft Auto but for real. Some of those who broadcast the Raqqa footage had to run to Germany - a country where "people are constantly drunk" and where... they continue getting death threats.
