Return to Raqqa chronicles the harrowing ordeal of Marc Marginedas, a Spanish journalist who was kidnapped by the Islamic State in Syria. He was one of 19 journalists and humanitarian workers from various countries who were captured by the terrorist group in 2013, marking one of the most infamous kidnapping events in recent history.
Of those taken, six were tragically executed on camera, with these brutal acts being widely broadcast as part of ISIS’s disturbingly effective propaganda campaign.
Through Marginedas' story, Return to Raqqa highlights the immense dangers faced by journalists reporting from conflict zones and the profound personal sacrifices they make in the pursuit of truth. It also raises critical questions about the responsibility of governments and international bodies in ensuring the safety and eventual return of captured journalists.
