Clip: 2/23/2017 | 6m 37s

How a group of unarmed civilians are saving the civilians of Syria.

The daily destruction of Syria's civil war is at once shocking and now strangely familiar. The Oscar-nominated documentary short “The White Helmets” aims to get beyond the numbness of the conflict by showing real first responders working to rescue victims from the ongoing assault on cities like Aleppo. Jeffrey Brown talks with the film’s director and producer.
