Last Men in Aleppo (2017)
Directed by: Feras Fayyad
Tickets: R50
In the middle of the night a red fire truck rushes through the streets. We meet Mahmoud and Subhi inside the car engaged in discussion: “Are we going to die now?” They follow the smell of what they fear is a chemical bomb attack. This is Aleppo, where death surrounds you. Dark and empty streets, with deserted buildings, tell the story of a thousand disrupted lives. Through this trip, searching for survivors, we experience the personal story behind the war. Khalid, Subhi and Mahmoud are all founding members of the White Helmets in Aleppo. This group of ordinary citizens are the first to enter the destroyed buildings. They scour through the rubble in search of bodies and signs of life and are now living under siege and constant bombing, together with the remaining 350,000 civilians in Aleppo.
