Syria's White Helmets have reportedly saved around 60,000 people who have been affected by air raids conducted by Russian and Syrian war planes since 2013.
Most recently, the group's rescue of four-year-old Omran Daqneesh became the subject of a viral social media campaign when images of the blood and dust-covered child sitting meekly in an ambulance shocked the world.
Due to their work, the White Helmets have received backing from more than 130 international organisations to win the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize, among other accolades.
Honours aside, the resiliance shown by Syria's White Helmets is simply an extraordinary display of human determination and spirit in the face of crushing adversity.
With over 130 of the group's volunteers having been killed, often by intentional regime attacks, the high price that is paid by its recruits is testament to their undying determination of the group to see their country through to better days.
'The White Helmets,' directed by Orlando von Einsiedel and produced by Joanna Natasegara is set for release globally on Netflix on September 16.
