Last Men in Aleppo

Synopsis

Nowhere is the human toll of Syria's ongoing civil war more brutally manifest than in the lives of Aleppo's "White Helmets," the first responders to the devastating bombing and terrorist attacks that have pushed this city to the brink of collapse.

Volunteers Khaled, Mahmoud, and Subhi rush toward bomb sites while others run away. They search through collapsed buildings for the living and dead. Contending with fatigue, dwindling ranks, and concerns for their families' safety, they must decide whether to stay or to flee a city in ruins.
