The White Helmets
Has watching the news given you the impression that all Syrians are refugees? The Syria Civil Defence, aka the White Helmets, are a group of volunteers who rush to the scene of any bombing in the country and scour the wreckage for survivors. This 40-minute documentary could never unravel the complexities of what’s happening in Syria right now, but its depiction of what it’s like on the ground is vividly powerful.
