The White Helmets - wonderful documentary

We just watched on Netflix. It's above these incredibly brave Syrian men who do search and rescue in bombed out areas. It's nominated for an Oscar and our government has barred some of the film makers from coming to the ceremony.

I highly recommend it. Make sure you have a tissue or two handy.
