Set in Aleppo, Syria and Turkey, The White Helmets is a Netflix original short documentary which follows three volunteer rescue workers as they put everything on the line to save civilians affected by the war, all the while wracked with worry about the safety of their own loved ones.
The White Helmets (by Oscar-nominated © team Orlando von Einsiedel and Joanna Natasegara) is described as “both a snapshot of the harrowing realities of life for ordinary Syrians who remain in the country, and a humbling portrait of the power of the human spirit.”
The film premiered this past weekend at the Telluride Film Festival and will have its international premiere at the 2016 TIFF. The White Helmets launches globally on Netflix on September 16, 2016.
