Last Men in Aleppo

In the gripping documentary by Syrian filmmaker Feras Fayyad, audiences are introduced to the harrowing yet inspiring world of the White Helmets. This group of ordinary citizens becomes extraordinary in their selfless dedication to rush towards danger zones amidst military strikes and attacks, aiming to rescue those trapped in the devastation. The film artfully intertwines moments of heart-pounding suspense with improbable beauty as it follows the lives of three of the organization's founders - Khaled, Subhi, and Mahmoud - who must confront the chaos around them while facing a profound moral dilemma: should they flee or remain to fight for their homeland? Winning the prestigious Grand Jury Documentary prize at Sundance, this unflinching portrayal of human resilience in the face of war is an eye-opening and emotionally charged experience.
