The White Helmets just won an Oscar. However, the Netflix documentary on the Syrian rescue workers is not the first one.
Afghan-Danish journalist Nagieb Khaja spent 12 days with the White Helmets in Aleppo.
Khaja faced daily life in Syria under the bombs of the Assad regime and Russia. He witnessed how the first responders saved civilians and what kind of special bond they have with each other and with the people who are suffering around them.
Definitely a must-see documentary.
