1. City of Ghosts

The film, directed by Matthew Heineman, introduced us to a gang of citizen journalists who risked their lives to tell the world about more crimes committed by ISIS in their hometown.

The group calls itself Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS). Fair warning, some scenes can get quite graphic, especially ones that document the atrocities of ISIS.

 

2. Becoming Warren Buffet

This documentary, by Brian Oakes and Peter Kunhardt, traces Buffet’s early business ventures, from selling soda to delivering newspapers, to his first investments and the journey to becoming one of the richest men in the world.
