Introduction
The White Helmets are a group of volunteers. These volunteers are tailors, bakers, teachers and other ordinary Syrians
banded together in 2013 to save others lives, they are working so hard to take care. They saved more than 79,000 lives.
But for the work they do, White Helmet volunteers and their civil defense centers are often targeted. Russian and Syrian
regime planes bomb civilians, and then they circle back and rescue people and provide them medical facilities.
Russian airstrikes in Syria have killed about 2,000 civilians in six months. Attacks on markets, hospitals,
schools and homes are very common. Observers at The White Helmets groups says,“ Warning that plans for a military

ones. Moving and inspiring, The White is both a snapshot of the harrowing realities of life for ordinary

Review of the Documentary
A documentary that will shock you, visually and emotionally, even if you don't fully understand the context
of the conflicts in Syria. It also shows the picture that emerges the real living through intractable and
unbalanced conflict, bringing home the scale of the international community's failure.
The White Helmets Motto
