The short documentary called The White Helmets is set in Aleppo and parts of Turkey in early 2016.
It follows a small group of volunteers who have chosen to put their lives on the line to save other civilians as the war rages on.
This group constantly rush to search for people trapped in wreckages in the aftermath of bombs as they continue to fall across the region.
The inspiring trailer shows real insight into everyday life for Syrians still stuck in the country.
Locals are heard screaming as they try to flee from areas under attack and trying to pull bodies from rubble.
The production crew behind the documentary includes Oscar-nominated Orlando von Einsiedel and Joanna Natasegara.
Viewers can watch The White Helmets on Netflix when the programme launches on September 16.
