Synopsis:

Teenage sisters YUSRA and SARA, both competitive swimmers, were facing a promising future until the Syrian civil war spread in 2015 and they were forced to flee for Europe. On their crossing their lifeboat began sinking and both sisters jumped in to the ocean and swam for hours, saving the lives of their fellow refugees. After enduring a terrifying journey they eventually made it to Berlin and sought out a swimming coach. Heartbreakingly, Sara discovered that she was no longer a good enough swimmer, but Yusra showed incredible promise and after months of hard work, she swam for the first ever Team Refugee at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Yusra is now a UNHCR goodwill ambassador and bastion of hope for refugees the world over. She is also training for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
