I am married,
and I have a daughter.
Her name is Amal.
Kiss me, kiss me.
Don't give Mom a hard time. Okay?
My family is very important to me.
I'm always worrying about them.
I have a strong belief in my work
for the White Helmets.
And every time I'm on a rescue mission,
Abu Omar!
Abu Omar!
Hello. Where is your dad?
Where is Abu Omar?
- He's ready.
- Is he ready?
Okay, tell him to come down
and we'll go to the center.
The morale of the White Helmets
is always high.
We are always ready
to respond to incidents.
But we just hope that the bombing
and air strikes stop.
Mom, where are you?
Do you need anything?
We have to admit that the situation
in Syria is going from bad to worse.
There is no solution on the horizon.
The situation is sad.
Syria is sad.
Before joining the White Helmets,
I was with an armed group.
I fought for the opposition
for three months.
But I saw that the regime's campaign
was targeting civilians.
And I thought, "It is better to do
humanitarian work than to be armed.
Better to rescue a soul
than to take one."
It's the Russians.
Come on, guys, quickly!
Go! Go!
Make a turn and come back!
We, the White Helmets, are the first
to arrive when there is bombing.
If you don't have some courage,
you wouldn't continue doing what we do.
Go here!
Any human being, no matter who they are
or which side they're on,
if they need our help...
it's our duty to save them.
Does anybody need rescuing?
There's nothing. Right?
Abu Feras lives there, but I don't know
whether he was in or out.
- Here?
- He's got an iron door.
We can't get a sense
if he's in or not.
Can we get in via your balcony?
Whenever I'm on a rescue,
I try as hard as possible
to save every person under the rubble,
whether they are young or old.
I consider them all
to be my family.
He usually goes out during the day
and comes back at night.
There's nothing more
upstairs, right?
There's nothing,
but just check on Abu Mahmoud.
Abu Mahmoud!
- There's no one here.
- Thank God.
and keep an eye out for him.
Whatever you need,
we're the White Helmets.
There are a number of injuries
and possibly two people killed.
There is nothing more.
We're heading back to the center.
I have been with the White Helmets
for three years.
I've seen many people
who have died in bombings.
I've also seen many people
who were rescued alive.
Abu Waleed, give me a crowbar.
I want to look under the mattress.
But the hardest thing
is seeing dead bodies.
This affects me a lot.
Guys, don't come closer.
Get me a corpse bag.
But this is my duty and my job.
I have to do it for the people,
for the civilians.
Only her relatives, please.
People who are not doing anything,
please leave.
Her hand is stuck.
They've struck!
Get down!
On the ground!
The situation is very difficult
Especially with Russia's intervention
to support the regime.
They say that they are fighting ISIS,
but they are targeting civilians.
The casualties are rising daily.
The bloodbath is not stopping.
I've lost two colleagues
very dear and precious to my heart.
They were taking part
in a rescue of civilians.
A week before, we had all been together,
working, eating and drinking...
and then they were dead.
Many of my colleagues
have been killed.
In Aleppo city alone,
we've lost 30...
Thirty White Helmets.
Please, Dad, don't leave me.
All lives are precious and valuable.
A child, even if he is not my son,
is like my son.
As an example, I'll tell you a story
that happened to us in Aleppo.
Two barrel bombs
were dropped in the Al-Ansari area.
The first one left
killed a lot of people.
We went into the area.
It was like a small village
made of ten houses,
and all the buildings
had been leveled to the ground.
On that day,
our work was very hard
and we worked for about 16 hours.
I thought that I was searching
under the rubble
for a baby that had died.
But all glory is to God.
We were not meant to leave the area
without hearing a sound.
When I heard the sound of a baby...
my feeling was indescribable.
This gave us renewed strength
to continue to work.
It gave us hope
that some people were still alive.
After 16 hours under the rubble,
a baby less than a month old,
still alive...
under the dust...
under the ceilings
that had fallen on him...
We called him the "miracle baby."
The baby was one week old
and at that time my son,
Abdul Hameed,
I don't know how it came to my mind,
but I imagined that this was my son.
And I started to cry.
I couldn't hold it in,
and all my colleagues started to cry.
The hope is that you guys will convey
the information you're learning
to other White Helmets in Syria.
We are under a lot of pressure right now
to train as many people as we can.
God willing.
Today, we will review listening devices
for locating people
trapped under the rubble.
Can anybody hear me?
Don't move.
If you can't hear anything,
move the position of the sensor.
It's a hard feeling,
that you are away from your family...
but life requires sacrifice.
So now we are sacrificing a whole month
to gain expertise.
that we'll gain a lot of experience.
