Directed, produced, and filmed by Academy Award–nominated and Emmy–winning filmmaker Matthew Heineman, 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.

A breakup is enacted by placing two figures on opposite ends of a diorama room, facing away from each other.
“I see you. Stay a little longer. Hold my plastic hand.”
Furthermore, the "pake" aspect—the careful packaging and display—creates a sense of stewardship. A collector caring for a toy couple (dressing them, cleaning them, posing them for dates) mirrors the acts of service found in human love languages. In many online galleries, you’ll find photo series titled “Date Night” or “First Anniversary,” complete with miniature dinners and handmade gifts.
