The primary focus, drawn from hundreds of hours of footage shot between 2016 and 2018, is on the physician Amani Ballour. I've rarely seen a more inspiring figure in a movie. Oct 23, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Fayyad captures the unfolding tragedies with a floating fluidity, his camera often lingering on faces that express stories their voices could never tell. Nov 7, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

This doc about an underground hospital trying to save victims of the Syrian civil war is immediate and dramatic - even with shameless flourishes. Nov 1, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
