Documentary After five years of war in Syria, Aleppo's remaining residents prepare themselves for a siege.

	Media	Author	Review
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Hard to watch, but necessary."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Fayyad brings a rigorous sense of craft and shock-and-awe scale to the film’s impressions of destruction, without impeding its anxious, on-the-hoof spontaneity."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Each emergency call and every character is successfully individualised and identifiable, and several arcs snap into the overall narrative drive."
		Vikram Murthi rogerebert.com	"An unflinching depiction of life in a vulnerable city (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Charlie Phillips The Guardian	"[It] offers powerful insights into the courageous rescue work of the White Helmet volunteers (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
