Netflix is showing The White Helmets, a short documentary about a group that rescues people immediately after bombings. It takes you into Allepo and into a training program in Turkey. It gives you a close up look inside Syria.
When I googled the movie to find out more, I did find an interview with a Dr. Tim Anderson of the University of Sydney who claims the White Helmets is a terrorist group and the movie is total propaganda. I also found this article which argues that Anderson is merely parroting the Asad and Russian line. There is also an article in the Australian which looks at Anderson's past.
Judge for yourself. I still recommend the movie if you have Netflix. Oh, yeah, they're showing it because it won the Academy Award for best short documentary. It's very well made.
