About this Act
Yusra Mardini is a 24-year-old Syrian swimmer who risked her life to save 18 people on a dinghy crossing the Aegean Sea. Forced to flee her home in Syria, Yusra and her sister Sara eventually made it to Germany, where Yusra was able to compete in the 2016 Olympics as a part of the first-ever refugee team in 2016 and is now a Goodwill Ambassador for the International Olympic Committee. Her mission is to inspire and empower refugees around the world. The movie “The Swimmers” documents the sisters’ arduous journey, and Yusra is launching a charitable foundation to help educate refugees through sports
