In March 2014, the military group calling itself the Islamic State, also known as Isis, took over the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, and declared it the capital of their caliphate. Journalists were no longer able to enter the city to report on events, and Isis began releasing a series of propaganda videos painting a rosy picture of the city, as a recruiting tool.

While Isis’ slick Hollywood-style media campaign presented Raqqa as a peaceful, fully functioning city, the citizen journalists of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (Rbss) told the world what as really taking place, with eye-witness reports and footage of the chaos, dysfunction and violence gripping the city.
