Incredibly moving film about real heroes; the Syrian Civil Defense.
These guys are a bunch of real people, former teachers, tailors, shop workers and so on who risk everything everyday to save the lives of strangers.
When Russian bombs start raining down, they rush in to pull people out of the rubble. The interviews are intensely personal and candid. The action is truly thrilling and frankly horrifying in equal measure. It's not an easy watch by any means but everyone should see this film.
An unbelievably powerful story, beautifully told. Don't let the trolls put you off. That's clearly what they want.
