The Swimmers Storyline

Sisters Yusra and Sarah Mardini fled their home country of Syria in 2015 when their house was destroyed during the civil war. They journeyed to Lebanon and then onto Turkey where they arranged to be smuggled into Greece on a dinghy. However, the refugees were in the middle of the Aegean Sea when the engine of the overcrowded dinghy cut out and the pair, plus two others who could swim, were responsible for saving the lives of those on board. Just a year after their harrowing experience Yusra competed in two swimming events at the Rio Olympics as part of the Refugee Olympic team.

The Swimmers Movie Reviews

“Swim your race” (dialog, father to daughter)

Not your typical sports movie. And that is a good thing. As a stand-alone story about overcoming obstacles, it is well-crafted, well-acted, and holds the attention. But that is not the point. There is another entirely different level here. A western viewer cannot help but notice that this is a culture we seldom get to see, except maybe in distant headlines and sound-bites. The bizarre world we live in has made us all too immune to proxy wars, refugees, and rule by sociopaths. This movie, operating on this seldom-seen level, reminds us of that reality by presenting real characters with real hopes and dreams, caught up something that most westerners have never known. At least not yet, anyway. Recommended.

Find your lane. Swim your race

With bombs and soldiers swarming around their home in Damascus, sisters Yusra and Sara decide to flee to Europe in pursuit of a better life. As highly competitive swimmers the girls were training to compete in the Olympics. Now instead of swimming in a pool, Yusra and Sara are trying out the Mediterranean. Other obstacles threatening to pull them under include a broken-down raft overloaded with passengers, barbed wire fences, dogs, police, and criminals eager to profit from desperate refugees. Still, the greatest currents that they are swimming against are in themselves.

This miraculous true story sheds light on a pressing global issue. Over 6 million refugees fled from Syria since 2011. Following the story of Yusra and Sara helps us to understand the issues that refugees face. The actors are sisters in real life, so their chemistry is authentic and comes from spending a lifetime together. It is heartwarming to witness Yusra and Sara holding onto life and their love for each other. The filmmakers are no slouches themselves, and there are some amazing scenes including a dance sequence in an empty warehouse.

Larger than life true stories always win!

Had the privilege to attend the European premier of the movie which will come to Netflix on 23rd of November. The movie is a very nicely paced dramatization of an amazing human achievement and story, it’s amazing because of the nature how far they came along and its amazingly human because they’ve did it sheerly as human beings nothing more. You could even profanely say as “superheroes” to quote the movie directly. Nothing super fancy directing and editing here, just purely nice narration and sequencing of events dramatization and this is being done nicely by the director Sally El Hosaini. But the real magic and chemistry lies between the two lead actresses Manal and Nathalie Issa who are siblings in real life as well not just on the screen; this chemistry between them gives you the passionate punch which delivers effectively indeed. This movie is definitely an underdog testament, a very good one.
