A portrait of White Helmet volunteers toiling amidst the rubble of the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo. A Grand Jury Prize-winner at Sundance.
"As the missiles fall across the Syrian warzone, the exhausted and poorly equipped White Helmets head out to search for victims and survivors. Syrian director Feras Fayyad collaborated with Danish filmmaker Steed Johannessen and the Aleppo Media Centre to record the daily activities of these reluctant heroes. A father is torn between fleeing with his children and staying to help his community. A colleague visits a family that he dug out of debris. Sirens interrupt a brief moment of joy in a kid's playground. These are just a few of the moments that elevate this remarkable documentary beyond nightly news coverage. It illuminates the courage and sense of community that lies alongside the tragedy." (Sydney Film Festival)
