The Film

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.

While it offers a "turn-key" vacation lifestyle for millions of travelers, the industry is simultaneously defined by high-pressure sales tactics and sophisticated fraudulent schemes that challenge its reputation. The Legal Framework: "Right to Use" vs. Ownership

A fundamental distinction of Mexico’s timeshare industry is its legal structure. Because Mexican law limits foreign direct title to coastal and border properties, most timeshares are sold as a agreement.
