Last Men in Aleppo (Arabic: آخر الرجال في حلب, romanized: Ākhir al-Rijāl fī Ḥalab) is a 2017 documentary film about the Syrian Civil War. Written and directed by Feras Fayyad, produced by Kareem Abeed and Søren Steen Jespersen, it documents the life in Aleppo during the war and particularly sheds light on the search-and-rescue missions of the internationally recognized White Helmets,[1] an organization consisting of ordinary citizens who are the first to rush towards military strikes and attacks in the hope of saving lives. The documentary highlights the lives of three White Helmets founders, Khaled Omar Harrah, Subhi Alhussen and Mahmoud as they grapple the dilemma to flee their country or stay and fight for it.
The film won the World Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in 2017[2] and was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 90th Academy Awards.[3] The film also won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 11th Asia pacific Screen Awards in 2017. After its theatrical run, it aired on the PBS series POV.
