Winner of the Grand Jury Documentary prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Syrian filmmaker Feras Fayyad’s breathtaking work — a searing example of boots-on-the-ground reportage — follows the efforts of the internationally recognized White Helmets, an organization consisting of ordinary citizens who are the first to rush towards military strikes and attacks in the hope of saving lives. Incorporating moments of both heart-pounding suspense and improbable beauty, the documentary draws us into the lives of three of its founders — Khaled, Subhi, and Mahmoud — as they grapple with the chaos around them and struggle with an ever-present dilemma: do they flee or stay and fight for their country?

This impressive documentary is deserving of an Oscar nomination. What caught my eye is the word "Aleppo," the Syrian city that's been under attack by numerous people ever since. Maybe the fact this documentary is about the Syrian civil war got me watching this documentary on Netflix first (It has 2 other feature documentaries available to view.) could assure the Oscar win. "Last Men In Aleppo" follows some Syrian rescue workers identified as "White Helmets" & showcases these men as humans--husbands and fathers taking care of their families but also saving living citizens & recovering the dead, both caught in the bombing of the city. Also the rescue workers struggle with the conflict of leaving Syria to find better lives for themselves & their families. As an American safely observing the Syrian warfare on the news, I cannot take for granted my own country & my liberties & privileges as the White Helmets of Aleppo see death & war as a regular part of their lives.

This could rightly be called WHITE HELMETS PART 2 as it chronicles the fall of Aleppo and the death of those who chose to stay. The White Helmets are a controversial group. Both these documentaries chose to portray them as heros rescuing babies and recovering corpses. This second installment more honestly portrays their political mandate. I give this documentary a 7 (good) out of 10. Available to view on Netflix. [Documentary Feature}
