The Swimmers is an upcoming Netflix film based on the true story of two sisters Yusra and Sarah Mardini, who fled from war-torn Syria to compete in the 2016 Rio Olympics. This movie is directed by Sally El Hosaini.
The sisters share a love for swimming that keeps them together in any situation, and it drives them to risk everything to make it to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The pair fled the Syrian civil war in 2015 and helped save the lives of their fellow refugees.
The Swimmers will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on September 8 2022, and will later drop on Netflix on 23 November 2022.
The trailer for The Swimmers has been released by Netflix.
