DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><strong>Last Men in Aleppo (2017)</strong></p>=0D=0A=
<p>Winner of the 2017 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, this gripping documentary offers both a portrait of extraordinary bravery as well as a searing example of boots-on-the-ground reportage. Filmed in war-torn Syria, we enter the lives of three founding members of the internationally-recognized White Helmets, a search-and-rescue organization comprised of ordinary citizens who voluntarily rush towards military strikes in order to save lives. With breath-taking suspense, the viewer experiences the daily life and death struggles of Aleppo&rsquo;s citizens, and the excruciating dilemma of people forced to choose between fleeing their beloved homeland or standing firm amid the uncertainty and destruction.</p>=0D=0A=
