Last Men in Aleppo

Although I could have done without the cloying soundtrack, this was very moving. I was curious about what Collin wrote in their review, about the White Helmets’ ties to terrorism. From what I’ve read, that accusation stems from a disinformation campaign started by the Assad regime, Russia, and spread by alt-right folks who think the U.S. should stop assisting them. Trump has recently stopped the US’s assistance.

This was a graphic and moving film that shows what the citizens of the town have suffered, not just from the initial bombings, but the isolation and shortages that occurred after. Watching the White Helmets risk their lives to save those of the remaining civilians. A tragic piece that puts into perspective the conflicts in the rest of the world, and the gratitude those who aren’t fighting to survive should feel.

While not strictly a poorly made film, it's a fawning love letter to a foreign funded organization that works arm in arm with salafi jihadists. It's regime change propaganda in its most base form.

"And whoever saves the life of one person, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankind." the insist of life in the deeply tragic moments, the searching of happiness in the darkest hours and facing the war criminals by humanity, love, happiness and the most important... LIFE.

Khalid's tragic story provides a look into struggles of scavenging remains of humanity in light senseless bombings, fathers recovering dead children, and attempts to find some semblance of normal living in a time of war despite death always being close nearby.

Brutal documental que acompaña a los rescatistas en Siria en su día a día, quienes más que héroes son personajes patéticos que luchan contra probabilidades injustas, las más de las veces sólo logrando extraer cadáveres de los escombros, muchos de ellos sólo niños o bebés. Es descorazonador ver cómo pasan de mano en mano los cuerpos inertes, así como la escena de un gato malherido con lágrimas de dolor en los ojos.

Wow! this documentary’s score was absolutely incredible as I watched shakey style camera move around I felt like I was immersed in this war zone and lifestyle. But the soft scenes like heading to the playground make a really happy outcome, but leading right into what they go through is just sad and compelling, this truly had me interested because it was so dark but was able to bring a little light to these situations

Compelling documentary, filmed with delicacy and concentration on the very hard work of a group of men in the city of Aleppo. Day after day you see their work each time the city is bombarded by the Russians. Out of the debris of the city they pull out the death to burry them and seldom they rescue a wounded child, then we share their emotion and understand why they keep on doing.
