- This is the story of Raqqa.
- 44
- 00:04:01,125 --> 00:04:04,113
- Our forgotten Syrian city
- by the river Euphrates,
- 45
- 00:04:05,472 --> 00:04:09,597
- which is now known
- as the main city of Islamic State.
- 46
- 00:04:11,549 --> 00:04:14,812
- And that has become a ghost town.
- 47
- 00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:20,726
- But for us it was
- and will always be our home.
- 48

- Raqqa was a simple and secluded city.
- 49

- 54
- 00:05:09,579 --> 00:05:11,880

- 55
- 00:05:14,387 --> 00:05:21,850
- After 40 years under the Assad regime
- we began to shout for freedom.

- - What do we want?
- - Freedom!
- 57
- 00:05:34,811 --> 00:05:39,913

- I did not expect to join in the
- rebellion against the Assad regime.
- 72
- 00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:25,258
- I was just a student
- and not even politically active.
- 73
- 00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:30,868
- My evenings went along
- to fix and make trouble.
- 74
- 00:07:31,392 --> 00:07:34,137
- But I quickly grew up.
- 75
- 00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:37,791
- [chanting]
- 76
- 00:07:38,671 --> 00:07:41,703

- [Mohamad] A oppressed people make rebellion
- and desires freedom, justice and equality.
- 82

- [chanting]
- 84
- 00:08:35,598 --> 00:08:39,004
- [Hamoud]
- I was inverted. A juniper.
- 85
- 00:08:40,917 --> 00:08:46,613

- not hit by a wild sphere. "
- 93
- 00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:21,607
- [Hamoud]
- But danger is tempting.
- 94
- 00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:31,028
- So I filmed the rebels,
- who fought against Assad.
- 95
- 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:32,530
- [people yelling]
- 96
- 00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:37,590

- [horns honking]
- 103
- 00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:30,421

- A paradise where the rivers
- run in the garden of Eden.
- 105
- 00:10:44,575 --> 00:10:46,575

- 106
- 00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:51,609
- [man chanting in Arabic]
- 107
- 00:11:11,254 --> 00:11:17,707
- [Aziz] In the power room after the

- 108
- 00:11:18,988 --> 00:11:25,417
- Its members held a black flag
- and called the Islamic State.
- 109
- 00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:36,189
- [Hamoud] We filmed them
- in secret, when they arrived.
- 110
- 00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:41,119
- And we filmed them when they asked people
- to gather at the Freedom Square.
- 111
- 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,078
- [rumbling]
- [audio squeals]
- 112
- 00:11:44,107 --> 00:11:49,068
- Tyrant Assad's crimes
- 113
- 00:11:49,177 --> 00:11:52,372

- [Aziz] Islamic State almost instantly
- declines Raqqa from the outside world.
- 118
- 00:12:28,256 --> 00:12:35,863
- Only news from the city was propaganda
- from the so-called Islamic state.
- 119
- 00:12:38,764 --> 00:12:43,827
- You are part of prophecy.
- Allah has chosen your destiny.
- 120
- 00:12:44,858 --> 00:12:48,140
- We have proclaimed a new caliphate.

- - Cry!
- -God is great!
- 126
- 00:13:09,539 --> 00:13:14,485
- [Aziz] At first glance it
- resembled the other militant groups.
- 127
- 00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:22,501
- But we soon realized that the world
- never had seen the stomach of this group.
- 128
- 00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:28,808
- [man speaking in Arabic over PA]
- 129
- 00:13:28,891 --> 00:13:33,717
- [Aziz] They painted the city black
- and wrapped it in the dark.
- 130
- 00:13:36,842 --> 00:13:41,326
- We could not help while
- Raqqa was slaughtered in silence.
- 131
- 00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,595
- - Are you playing?
- -Yes.
- 132
- 00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:06,939
- [Aziz] At that point the goal was to wake
- up the attention of the local authorities.
- 133
- 00:14:08,993 --> 00:14:13,252
- But the situation was getting worse soon.
- 134
- 00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,940
- [people chattering]
- 135
- 00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:28,162
- [Aziz] Executions and detentions
- took place interchangeably.
- 136
- 00:14:29,709 --> 00:14:34,475
- Nothing was reported in Arabic
- or international media.
- 137
- 00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:39,122
- We had to do something with more power.
- 138
- 00:14:40,168 --> 00:14:42,740
- We had to get our city in the spotlight...
- 139
- 00:14:42,765 --> 00:14:47,490
- and show people the truth about ISIS,
- and what was happening in Raqqa.

- It was RBBS 'first call.
- 141
- 00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:05,154
- We created a page on Facebook...
- 142
- 00:15:05,178 --> 00:15:09,012
- and began to post in English via Twitter...
- 143
- 00:15:09,528 --> 00:15:13,457
- so the civil voices could be heard
- by the international community.
- 144
- 00:15:13,549 --> 00:15:18,293
- Sir Naji, they have graduated hundreds
- by civil journalists. Tell about it.
- 145
- 00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:23,934
- He is the protagonist and activist.
- Near the window.
- 146
- 00:15:24,286 --> 00:15:26,762
- What has happened in Syria,
- is true civil journalism.
- 147
- 00:15:27,677 --> 00:15:32,442
- [Aziz] Naji Jerf, called "Uncle,"
- is the campaign's father figure.
- 148
- 00:15:33,693 --> 00:15:37,817
- He educated us as civilians
- journalists to show us...
- 149
- 00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:41,426
- that the pen is stronger
- than the sword.
- 150
- 00:15:43,629 --> 00:15:47,785
- And day by day our work became
- discovered on Arab channels.
- 151
- 00:15:48,816 --> 00:15:53,873
- The campaign "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered
- Silently" is initiated by students.
- 152
- 00:15:54,131 --> 00:15:58,514
- These young men will show the world,
- what happens in their province.
- 153
- 00:15:58,539 --> 00:16:04,532
- ISIS detained at least 1200 and
- committed many massacres in the city.
- 154
- 00:16:04,650 --> 00:16:07,695
- [Aziz] We pierced the hole in the dark.

- And stand your breath, sir!
- 164
- 00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:43,951
- Do they have to burn in your graves!
- 165
- 00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:50,507
- [Aziz] It lasted only a couple
- of weeks, and then hit the tragedy.
- 166
- 00:16:55,162 --> 00:16:59,226
- [Soldier]
- It is a very old ID. It's a fake ID.

- [Man]
- No, I swear by God.

- [Soldier] But it's
- torn apart here. It is false.
- 169
- 00:17:09,904 --> 00:17:14,130
- [Aziz] Our friend Moutaz
- was detained at a checkpoint.
- 170

- 00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:22,386
- [Aziz]
- He was arrested and jailed.
- 172
- 00:17:23,746 --> 00:17:26,042
- After they had tortured him,
- did they examine his laptop...
- 173
- 00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:29,003
- and found information
- and the movement logo.
- 174
- 00:17:31,213 --> 00:17:33,705
- They tortured him further
- and asked:
- 175
- 00:17:33,730 --> 00:17:39,363
- "Who are they? What are you working on?
- You are against Islamic State. "
- 176
- 00:17:40,198 --> 00:17:46,685
- In God the Name of Mercy. The penalty
- for those who fight for God ...
- 177
- 00:17:59,036 --> 00:18:04,465
- [Aziz] After they shot Moutaz,
- began a series of assassinations.
- 178
- 00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:09,005
- [Male reporter] By the time
- the emergency services showed up,
- 179
- 00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:11,048
- all they could do was carry out the bodies
- 180
- 00:18:11,132 --> 00:18:14,552
- of Fares Hamadi and Ibrahim Abdul Qader.
- 181
- 00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,637
- Both were members of a group of activists
- 182
- 00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:18,055
- who risked their lives
- 183
- 00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:21,892
- to tell the world what's going on
- in their home town of Raqqa.
- 184
- 00:18:21,976 --> 00:18:23,769
- Both men were beheaded.
- 185
- 00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:30,109
- [Aziz]
- We had two options.
- 186
- 00:18:31,297 --> 00:18:35,584
- Staying in town and see
- death in your eyes or travel.
- 187
- 00:18:36,756 --> 00:18:38,834
- So we decided
- to flee from Raqqa.
- 188
- 00:18:39,889 --> 00:18:42,920
- Some of us fled to Germany,
- 189
- 00:18:43,092 --> 00:18:46,647
- the others were right on the
- other side of the border in Turkey.
- 190
- 00:18:47,952 --> 00:18:54,514
- And then the real war
- began between ISIS and us.

- But I had no choice.
- 195
- 00:19:38,368 --> 00:19:40,601
- Even though we are outside,

- [Mohamad] - Not yet.
- 213

- The Internet in Raqqa is very bad.
- 214

- We live all the time on flight from ISIS.

- Even though we have changed address often,

- My brother was living in Raqqa,

- 252
- 00:25:45,684 --> 00:25:50,168
- The life of Raqqa?
- There is no life in Raqqa.
- 253
- 00:25:50,192 --> 00:25:53,465
- ISIS has limited
- all aspects of life.
- 254
- 00:25:53,489 --> 00:25:56,856
- There are no schools,
- universities or hospitals.
- 255
- 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,949

- for three to four days or a whole week.
- 256
- 00:26:00,973 --> 00:26:06,040

- We all come from
- middle class families,
- 260
- 00:26:16,278 --> 00:26:20,372
- so we funded ourselves
- in the first nine months.
- 261
- 00:26:20,824 --> 00:26:25,708

- - Okay.

- In my opinion, have a camera
- more power than one weapon.
- 314

- 00:30:54,508 --> 00:30:56,705
- When ISIS came to Raqqa,
- 316
- 00:30:56,729 --> 00:31:00,329
- were they spread
- their decrees via CDs.

- Am on?
- 745
- 01:14:23,539 --> 01:14:27,234

- 01:15:05,094 --> 01:15:09,789
- We received a lot of attention

- 757
- 01:15:10,398 --> 01:15:14,016

- The bombs will not do
- end of ISIS
- 760
- 01:15:21,666 --> 01:15:26,866

- 761
- 01:15:27,842 --> 01:15:31,153
- Today it can be Raqqa,
- and tomorrow elsewhere.
- 762
- 01:15:32,028 --> 01:15:35,559
- So let's update the work.
- 763
- 01:15:35,786 --> 01:15:40,803
- For now we gain experience
- in the fight against extremism.
- 764
- 01:15:40,828 --> 01:15:42,413
- Just okay.
- 765
- 01:15:42,491 --> 01:15:46,124
- We must move forward and show
- ourselves for the international community.
- 766
- 01:15:47,752 --> 01:15:49,764
- [Hamoud]
- Show the world our faces.
- 767

- [Aziz] The battle between
- ISIS and us grows every day.
- 768
- 01:16:01,261 --> 01:16:05,976
- Therefore, that yes googler "Raqqa"
- 769
- 01:16:06,625 --> 01:16:08,828
- Not only would he see,
- what ISIS wants.
- 770
- 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,195
- We will find them.
- 771
- 01:16:13,293 --> 01:16:15,757
- [male reporter] Much of what
- we know about atrocities
- 772
- 01:16:15,782 --> 01:16:18,032
- is committed by ISIS in Syria
- 773
- 01:16:18,115 --> 01:16:21,827
- comes from courageous citizens
- armed with smart phones.
- 774
- 01:16:21,911 --> 01:16:24,330
- [female reporter]
- The activists are pulling back the curtain
- 775
- 01:16:24,413 --> 01:16:26,957
- on the horrors of ISIS
- ruining their small city.
- 776
- 01:16:27,041 --> 01:16:30,252
- [female reporter 2] Mohamad Masara is
- a former high school math teacher
- 777
- 01:16:30,336 --> 01:16:32,296

- 778
- 01:16:33,255 --> 01:16:36,050
- "I need to stay alive," Mohamad told us.
- 779
- 01:16:36,133 --> 01:16:37,589
- "Keep getting the word out."
- 780
- 01:16:38,260 --> 01:16:41,760
- It's not enough to
- expose the crimes of ISIS.
- 781
- 01:16:41,784 --> 01:16:45,056
- We must also fight
- against their ideology.
- 782
- 01:16:46,064 --> 01:16:48,252
- The lesson we learn in Raqqa
- 783
- 01:16:48,392 --> 01:16:53,010
- is that when one group falls
- another will rise in its place.
- 784
- 01:16:54,682 --> 01:16:57,181
- People want freedom and safety.
- 785
- 01:16:57,392 --> 01:17:01,588
- and when they live in a world,
- that is neither free nor safe,
- 786
- 01:17:01,612 --> 01:17:06,802
- they are vulnerable to any group
- that promises them prosperity.
- 787
- 01:17:08,154 --> 01:17:10,489
- Bombs will not fix this.
- 788
- 01:17:10,731 --> 01:17:14,137
- Getting rid of ISIS will not fix this.
- 789
- 01:17:14,692 --> 01:17:18,958
- We must create a government,
- that speaks for the people.
