The dramatic film that won the Grand Jury Prize for a documentary at the Sundance Film Festival focuses on Khaled, Subhi and Mahmoud, all members of the White Helmets who volunteer in rescuing people from the wreckage in Syria. Filmed during 2015-2016, the documentary follows the hardships encountered by the three who never for a minute consider leaving their cities where innocent people keep being attacked. Last Men in Aleppo mirrors a remarkable courage while depicting the war that’s reshaping our world today from a different angle.
