George Clooney’s ‘The White Helmets’ Is Actor’s Way Of Honoring Syrian Heroes

The turmoil in Syria has been going for some time. Thousands of lives are lost and millions of properties are destroyed. Syrians were displaced and have to hide to preserve their lives. A group of unarmed civilians organized themselves to provide help to the victims. George Clooney's "The White Helmets" tells the story of how these heroes risk their lives so that others may live.

They are the first responders that deliver help to the civilians who are buried under the ruins of collapsed structures due to bombings. Aleppo is the center of the war in Syria. People survive their daily lives by being strong and courageous in the midst of hunger and danger. Humanitarian aids are being bombed and confiscated.

Smokehouse Pictures, George Clooney and Grant Heslov's production company will release the documentary movie about the people in helmets. "The White Helmets," is also known as the Syrian Civil Defense. They are an armless group of volunteers without political affiliations. They are always on the alert to rush to the scene whenever there are encounters between the rebels and the Assad as per "The White Helmets."

Bombs from the sky land on schools, hospitals, and almost everywhere leaving people trapped in ruins according to Political Lore. "The White Helmets" dig without stopping until the last buried person is rescued.

George Clooney's "The White Helmets" is a heartbreaking documentary. It depicts the real face of war and the hapless condition of those who come in between. It is considered a serious, timely movie.

Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin are both into humanitarian endeavors. The barrister is working on high-profile cases. One of which is Yazidi women sexual slavery and the genocide done by ISIS group in Iraq.

Imprisoned Egyptian-Canadian journalist Mohammed Fahmy has found a high-caliber counsel in Alamuddin. He and an Al-Jazeera English reporter were detained for 2011 revolutions but were eventually pardoned. She joined the legal team working on the recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide.

The couple's humanitarian endeavors never stop. Last September, they established thousands of new schools for indigent students and Lebanese refugees. George Clooney's "The White Helmets" is an honorary film that gives importance and acknowledgment to the people who risk their lives so that others may live.
