Docsoc helped with an Impact Campaign
Crisis Action's impact strategy aimed to ensure that Aleppo's fate is not repeated across Syria. It will did this by using the Sundance award-winning documentary film, The Last Men In Aleppo, to build US support for newly-proposed no-fighting zones where civilians can escape attacks, as well as educating hundreds of newly-elected MPs across Europe about Aleppo and the power they have to prevent it from happening again.

A documentary both urgent and mournful ...
