Netflix has become a streaming service for untold and incredible stories and this movie is definitely a must-watch.  The duration of the film is two hours and fifteen minutes, in both English and Arabic.  There are subtitles available. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Sarah, now 26, and Yusra Mardini, 24, left their home in Damascus in August 2015, four years after the outbreak of conflict in March 2011, in an attempt to reach Europe.<\/strong> They planned to travel to Istanbul, before traveling to Greece by sea, and then overland to Germany.  Their journey almost ends in tragedy when the engine stops, leaving the eighteen passengers in a frightening situation.  Since the boat was only meant to carry seven people, it greatly exceeded its weight, so the sisters jumped into the icy water and began swimming for their lives.  For three hours the girls pushed the canoe from Turkey to Greece.  Incredibly, fortunately, they made it ashore and all the passengers survived. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only is the film about the swimming sisters, but it is also a detailed journey of how and what refugees go through in search of safety.  Danger, abuse and how people from each country benefit from their situation.  It&#8217;s amazing and it will make you think about how you view refugees. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The acting is great, the best I&#8217;ve seen in a while.  The actors have strong chemistry and at times, you forget they weren&#8217;t actually sisters.  All the supporting cast, family, friends, their coach and others on the boat give unforgettable performances. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are beautifully shot slow motion scenes throughout, and it&#8217;s used a lot underwater, making you slow down as a viewer and focus on the picture.  The waters are calming and calm, but they are also wild and unpredictable.  While we are having fun and playing in the sea, somewhere, there are people dying in it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Watching this story of what these girls had to go through is heartbreaking and comforting at the same time &#8211; there&#8217;s a strong, energetic pace to the movie, and I just couldn&#8217;t stop watching.  There are some stressful scenes that make your jaw clench and leave a lump in your throat.  The scenes of everyone shoving into the little raft they&#8217;ve paid so much to get into are powerful and disgusting.  The image of the girls holding each other on the beach will really stay with me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With an emotional ending, this movie certainly tells this story well and gives it the recognition and praise it deserves.  This movie teaches viewers to be strong, to be respectful, to recognize what others are going through, to find your own path, and to swim your own race. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2012, Yusra represented her country at the World Championships in Turkey and her goal was to train and hope to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games. For the first time in history, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/ioc\/overview\">International Olympic Committee<\/a> <\/strong>He announced that the nations competing in Rio would be joined by a team of refugees, made up of athletes who would find themselves stateless and excluded.  There were 42 athletes in total. Yusra swam the 100m butterfly and won a medal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think of the Netflix movie The Swimmers?
