The Swimmers is an inspiring biographical sports drama based on the true story of Syrian sisters Yusra and Sara Mardini. Fleeing the devastation of the Syrian civil war in 2015, the sisters embark on a perilous journey across Europe. While crossing the Aegean Sea in a dangerously overcrowded dinghy, they risk their lives to save fellow refugees when the boat’s engine fails. Just a year later, Yusra competes in the 2016 Rio Olympics as part of the Refugee Olympic Team, showcasing the resilience and determination that defined her journey. The film is directed by Sally El Hosaini and stars Manal and Nathalie Issa.
