In war-torn Syria, in a hidden
underground field hospital, a female-led team of medical professionals and
civilian caregivers works tirelessly to provide much-needed medical assistance
to an embattled population. Last
Men in Aleppo director Feras Fayyad’s new film shows this
everyday courage in practice, following Dr. Amani, a 30-year-old aspiring
pediatrician. Her medical studies interrupted by war, she leads a team serving
the needs of Al Ghouta’s populace, battered by the Syrian civil war’s aerial
bombardments and chemical warfare. An unforgettable portrait of everyday
heroism, female camaraderie, the effort to mend, and the struggle for light in
the dark. A National Geographic Documentary Films release.
