Representatives of the "White Helmets" are coming to Montreal next week.
The Syrian Civil Defence (SCD) is made up of about 3000 volunteers who go into areas beyond the reach of Doctors Without Borders.
The SCD is also known as the "White Helmets".
Members of the non-governmental organization work to save lives in war-ravaged regions of Syria.
The Netflix film "White Helmets" is being screened in Montreal December 8th at 7PM in Concordia University's Henry F. Hall Building.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring directors from the SCD.
The film is in French with English sub-titles while the discussion afterward will be in English.
The White Helmets received the Right Livelihood Award earlier this fall and are being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
