That’s how Yusra Mardini's courage and determination, from fleeing war in Syria to reaching the Olympics, inspired the @netflix.com film The Swimmers.

I recommend these people watch the movie The Swimmers to get a little better understanding. Tell them it's a sports movie

unlabelledView post →Watching #TheSwimmers on Netflix. Excellent so far. It’s based on the book ‘Butterfly’ by #YusraMardini, which had a big impact on me a couple of years ago. This is the kind of story that, repeated a million times, shows us what really lies behind the #refugee ‘crisis’. Maybe it is a crisis, but not for us. Read the book or watch the film, maybe even both. Please.

Watch this gripping film, based on true life events of Yusra and Sara Mardini, and you will feel immersed in the reality of profound loss of family, home, and national identity. #TheSwimmers #Netflix #Refugees #AsylumSeekers #YusraMardini #SaraMardini

unlabelledView post →I'm still recovering from #TheSwimmers last night on #Netflix and found a story worth a sequel: Sarah Mardini went back to Lesbos (#Greece) to support those who, like her, cross the Mediterranean sea to reach safety in #Europe. In 2018, Sarah and other volunteers were detained, spent 108 days in pre-trial detention and face up to 25 years in prison. https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/11/05/greece-rescuers-sea-face-baseless-accusations
unlabelledView post →#TheSwimmers on #Netflix is a drama based on the real story of Yusra and Sara Mardini, who flet #Syria in 2015. The scene of them crossing the Mediterranean has been one of the most agonizing pieces of cinema I remember watching, but that was just the beginning! Exposing the challenges for refugees and asylum seekers, the cruelty of borders, the personal journey to the Olympics, the sisterhood... this is a film that must be watched! https://www.netflix.com/title/81365134
