FILM

The White Helmets

Walk the bombed out streets of Aleppo with these inspiring rescue workers recognized by their protective gear, white helmets. As daily airstrikes pound civilian targets, this group of humble first responders risk their lives to rescue victims from the rubble. They also deliver public services to nearly 7 million people, including reconnecting electrical cables, providing safety information to children and securing buildings. They are the largest civil society organization operating in areas outside of government control, and their actions provide hope for millions.
 
Netflix documentary released in 2016.
