Violence & Gore

  • Violence only takes the form of airstrikes, and the gore is very mild. (The only weapons to even appear are fighter jets, attack helicopters and unguided bombs.)
  • There are multiple scenes being footage of missile strikes recorded from the ground; including shots of fiery explosions, shots of buildings collapsing upon their inhabitants, and shots of people being knocked down or tossed into the air. There is footage of various injured people (including small children), bruised or bleeding, being extracted from rubble or placed upon stretchers.
  • In one piece of footage, a petrified and possibly disfigured baby is pulled from between two concrete walls that had been wedged together. The baby's head looks as though it may have been compressed slightly on the left and right sides. In addition, although covered in a sheet, the baby's left leg may be injured.
  • There is footage of two unguided bombs being dropped from a helicopter and exploding when impacting with buildings or the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust and debris.
  • In various presentation interviews, men remark upon the amount of casualties and bloodshed.
  • A group of men outdoors discuss the capabilities of cluster bombs and barrel bombs, how they would obliterate an entire particular building. In interviews, war planes and two-bomb barrels are mentioned.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • No alcohol.
  • One of the White Helmets can be seen smoking a cigarette while at ease. No other drugs appear in the documentary.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In a couple of scenes, civilian responders listen and watch helplessly as a fighter jet enters the airspace above their neighborhoods and fires a missile or two at buildings or roads, blowing up objects or people. The scene with the pair of bombs dropped from a helicopter may be somewhat frightening.
  • Scenes of the responders shouting and rushing to pull people from rubble may be frightening or intense.
