Watched the movie yesterday and it had me being in tears most of the time. Knowing that it's the reality for many people every day is hard and makes me appreciate my life and how privileged I am. From growing up in a country without war, not needing to flee, being allowed to love whom I want and live and work where I want. I am so touched by Sarah's story and I think the Issa sisters portrayed them really well. Nice to know that that the actresses are actual sisters in real life as well.
These are the human beings we should be admiring and looking up to not the ones looking to collect a $$$ she does what she does bc she is human and values life!! Not just her own everyone's!!
I wouldn’t know about them if it wasn’t for the movie, how come this story’s do not make the news! Wonderful movie! Wonderful history! Your father must be very proud ! We need more of this movies to bring awareness about the dilemma of the refugees
It did make the news back in 2016 in Europe at least. Not front page probably but was around. Although it wouldn't have been if it weren't for her sister making the Olympic team as there are so many with stories like them sadly in terms of the refugee experience and leaving previously incredible and respected lives behind to risk everything to find safety. There are so many with incredible stories and very sadly not that rare. I dont think it's possible to get your head around the magnitude of people, just like all of us, that used to have lives like us before their worlds collapsed. The number of people with big and full stories... Totally agree though!
Unbelievably I find this person because of american news. And I only looked at the story because I saw a pretty face. To think of how we just sit around sipping coffee while these things are happening to people in the world.
I love this lady so much! Met her and her sister, they are beauties as well as they are smart, brave, superheroes...really, this story makes you cry a lot and after that, makes you stronger!
Here after watching the Netflix movie! The movie was amazing but this interview is so inspirational, better than all the motivational videos that we watch everyday hoping to learn a thing or two and feel better! Hats off to both these brave sisters!!
She's a beautiful human being. Dedicating her energy to helping others and vowing to keep doing it, even after all the legal issues she has faced. Individuals like her should be admired in our society. Doing the decent thing in a time that decency seems to be disappearing. I saw the Mardini sister's story on the news a long time ago, but it wasn't until the movie on Netflix came out that I got to see how remarkable their journey was. And it happens for thousands everyday. So glad that they dropped the charges against her and the other aid workers. They were ridiculous charges to begin with, but I hope they won't get re-charged in the future. We need more people like her out there doing the right thing to help people simply seeking better lives!
It was a great movie "swimmers" but the interview is epic . Salute to the mardini sisters and all syrians who are suffering . We are there for you always
So glad to see her story rising to the surface with this video and the Swimmers movie. These stories must be told and shared widely. We are all human and must help each other ❤
I just watched Netflix moviesThe Swimmers based on Yusra autography "Butterfly". I watched with my 12 year old son, we liked it very much, very admirable couragous girls Sarah and Yusra. Hugs to all Syrian people who are suffering.
This is how true women empowerment sounds like. Not just some spoiled brat you hear doing podcasts or interviews in all social media platform. Kudos to this very brave woman 👏👏👏👏👏
"Woke" in the good meaning of the word: striving for a better world and not afraid of holding other pple accountable for their actions , knowing and acknowledging that we ourselves arent perfect either.
Sarah is a great human being ❤ was lucky to dance with her one day in berlin...mesmerizing energy she has! take care habibti and shine on. May all people be liberated and free to move safely - wherever whenever! 🙏🏾💜✨
I just saw this movie. O my God what a beautiful movie. I cried😢 thank you for everything what you all did. You are heros. I feel sory 4 what They did for you put jou in jail 😢 you absolutely did not derserve jail. God is with you❤
Truly inspirational. We need more awareness around this subject, and I challenge people here in the UK when they complain about immigration (I tell them, how would they feel if they lost all their family etc), and have done for a long time, and as an English person will full English family I'm tired at how closed minded the general public in the UK are, it's sad and embarrasing, and highlights that a reform is needed within the educational and awareness aspect....not to mention how driven someone has to be to undertake such a feat, so many people would not even attempt this. Unfortunately most of the world has become obsessed with entitlement and capitalism, and loosing touch with the human element.... Which ultimately we are social animals. I feel the film will help with this, and myself and partner will continue to speed awareness.
I let my grandchildren to watch the money they are 8 years old , I want them to get inspired by those girls they were fighting to save themselves, Sara is a hero , god bless them . For the first time thank you Netflix you succeed to make this inspired movie
ive just watch the movie i love sara as being a sister and a daughter shes been very soul driven i just hope many will be urge to help for the refugees because sara was right after all they dont take your jobs they just need safety ❤❤
No one leaves their home country because they want to, but because they have to, if they want to live a better life that sadly their home countries cant provide. Survival makes you leave your childhood memories, school years memories, your family, your friends and your life as you have known it to go start new somewhere else... it isn't easy, and some people dont even KNOW HOW privileged they are, that they dont have to leave their home countries because they have to...
Inspiring women ,,i was touched how it is sad to criminalise a Person who is helping others (who are the most in need ) and the streets full of criminals, drug dealers walking free. Strange world.
I am purchasing this book tomorrow with another book that I wanted quite a while, I'm sure the book will be amazing. Thank you for being inspirational, I'm more appreciative than before because of "The swimmers" film. I will do all the suggestion, good luck with your studies.
You should know that we proud of sara and her sister as a human and because she's my homies too ; and you should know that there is a lot of people here in Syria have a dreams and they need to achieve it ; we love a life
I remember reading the story in a Readers Digest and it stayed with me ever since. I finally watched the film, have downloaded the book and want to see the Doc.
This makes me absolutely fuming angry with the people that locked her (and possibly others in a similar situation) up in prison and charged her with all those ridiculous claims... what is _wrong_ with these people? It's not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely wondering how anyone with any sort of heart or humanity could do this. The interview was incredibly impressive and what a brave and goodhearted person she is. I am absolutely in awe of her.
Thanks to all Europeans who help the refugees and thanks to Turkey who welcomed and opened door to all these 7 million Syrian brothers and sisters millions of Syrians find a warm home in turkey which wasn't easy for everyone but we all went through this tuffs time Also we all witnessed what the European Union did, for example, I saw many videos how greek coastguards trying to inflate the refugee's boots in the open water and kicking them to the water or left them to death many of them died many saved from Turkish Coastguards or Turkish Fisherman's we all saw and witnessed there is always few bad eggs in the basket I always dream about we all get together to help each other as a human beings I am asking you all when you can do so much but you chose not to how can you go home and tell your kids I love you, or your loved ones! I want to make these clear for all of us we are far away from being human if we can't help each other Now go tell someone I love you if you can. Selam Aleykum. Special thanks to RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN بركة الله فيك THANK YOU REIS MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BAKARA ALLAHU FIK بركة الله فيك
Yes. That's right. Recep Tayyip Erdogan should also be given the Nobel Prize for mediating between Ukraine and Russia, serving peace, grain agreement, etc.
She is a shining example for all women. Risking her life to help and save lives. Not just whining about how difficult her life was at the palace and indulging in self pity....whist jetting around on a private plane with her bodyguards.
I can't find the petition. I went on amenstry internation and entered Syria and prisoners of conscience and other things, does anyone have direct link to sign petition??
Can the petition with International Amnesty be signed if you don’t live in Australia? I tried and it didn’t allow me to submit without choosing an Australian state.
The actress who plays yusra looks a lot more like her, while the actress who plays sara doesn't really look like her. Besides, real people seem kind of gentler to me
Who is here after watching the movie?🤓
🙋♀️
Same here
Me too😢
Is the petition still online?
me too

I am the same but I don’t have the freedom to love who I want. I feel trapped
These are the human beings we should be admiring and looking up to not the ones looking to collect a $$$ she does what she does bc she is human and values life!! Not just her own everyone's!!
These sisters are incredible. Sara is a true gem, if only the world would raise up to the occasion and treat them well
I wouldn’t know about them if it wasn’t for the movie, how come this story’s do not make the news! Wonderful movie! Wonderful history! Your father must be very proud ! We need more of this movies to bring awareness about the dilemma of the refugees
It did make news in the Middle East
Cuz we had Covid and now Ukrainian war.
News is news until ... Well, we all know how the media unfortunately works.

Bravo. Humanity needs the human souls like you. You are the real super hero.

Salute to the mardini sisters and all syrians who are suffering .
We are there for you always
😂
We have to make it viral she can't go to jail for 25 years
Indeed. I was on her sister's Instagram but I didn't see any information on how to help. Or anything about her being arrested.
Do you know the link she talked about ?
@@nait7717 no. I find it weird that this is not all over her sister's Instagram or something.
Is she alright now? I wonder
So glad to see her story rising to the surface with this video and the Swimmers movie. These stories must be told and shared widely. We are all human and must help each other ❤
I met you the year you returned to Mytilene. You are an inspration for refugee children and adults like me as well. Great job!
I’m speechless. You are a true inspiration. I felt with with you in every word you said. You showed the world that nothing is impossible.
I just watched Netflix moviesThe Swimmers based on Yusra autography "Butterfly". I watched with my 12 year old son, we liked it very much, very admirable couragous girls Sarah and Yusra. Hugs to all Syrian people who are suffering.
Mardini sisters, what a story.
Great sacrifice to go back and help others
روحي ربي ينصركم ويعزك ويعز قدرك يا سارة انتِ ويسرى وأهلك وكل المظلومين في هذا الكوكب اللي عم يحكموه قذارة البشر ❤
So inspiring! Thank you Sarah for all that you have done; we should all aspire to care for others like we care for ourselves!
Damn i went through the same journey as her, but in a boat though. Respect for her she's a hero.🙏❤💯
She is an inspiration..
The best thing about mardini sisters they love each other unconditionally ..
This is how true women empowerment sounds like. Not just some spoiled brat you hear doing podcasts or interviews in all social media platform. Kudos to this very brave woman 👏👏👏👏👏
you don't have to put people down to lift others up
@WildChild So true, and I feel like a lot of people have become "woke"
"Woke" in the good meaning of the word: striving for a better world and not afraid of holding other pple accountable for their actions , knowing and acknowledging that we ourselves arent perfect either.
Yes! 👏👏👏👏 as a woman agree
Wow. Sarah is amazing! Everyone please help her to get released!
كعربية انا حقا فخورة بك سارة وبيسرى اتمنى ان يشاهد الجميع قصتكم
A complete movie of her should be made
They even made a movie for you sisters be proud very proud of yourselves and your parents.
Sarah is a great human being ❤ was lucky to dance with her one day in berlin...mesmerizing energy she has! take care habibti and shine on. May all people be liberated and free to move safely - wherever whenever! 🙏🏾💜✨
She shouldn't have been arrested. This is the world we live in. Those who are good get punished but the bad are rewarded.
You are my sister in humanity and an inspiration to us all.
You are very brave and inspiration for many people on not to give up doing good no matter how hard it is! Stay strong
I just saw this movie.
O my God what a beautiful movie. I cried😢 thank you for everything what you all did.

She's a hero
Shahada is a declaration of faith, and it's usually recite ideally before any practicing Muslim passes away.
How is she now? Hope she wasn't found guilty. I wish I could give her a hug.
I hope the charges get dropped soon. The European policy is so incredible inhumane. Thank you for shedding light on that. I wish you all the best!
Inspiring women ,,i was touched how it is sad to criminalise a Person who is helping others (who are the most in need ) and the streets full of criminals, drug dealers walking free. Strange world.
Love Syria so much
That woman is such a hero ❤

@@fatimabhyat4337 It is called Butterfly: From refugee to Olympian
You should know that we proud of sara and her sister as a human and because she's my homies too ; and you should know that there is a lot of people here in Syria have a dreams and they need to achieve it ; we love a life

What a woman! True hero in my opinion!
Oh, that was inspiring… I dreamed also to swim in the Olympics, I bet all the athletes do… but their story is so inspiring… Praise God 🙏
OUR HERO ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥

She was my favorite character such a beautiful movie
Just watched The Swimmers. 👍👍👍👍

My inspiration ❤️
ساره كلنا فخورين فيك
Sara you’re a hero
Una mujer extraordinaria !!!

Yusra is far more popular but Sarah is the real protagonist imo.
Thanks for the charity you did.
Should’ve done a movie about her after story
There's one on Netflix but the star is her sister. Both are great though.
Indeed time for action no more hope
Such a strong Woman!
May God bless you🙏🏼.
Anybody have an update on how she is now?
Her trial start today
Helping criminals is a crime. What she did was wrong and I'm glad she was charged for it.
What criminals are you talking about?
Heroes. ❤
I can't find the petition. I went on amenstry internation and entered Syria and prisoners of conscience and other things, does anyone have direct link to sign petition??
I watch the movie it’s so beautiful. Now the protect bad more then the people that fight for people right’s.
Who else is in jail because of this situation?? I just watched the video about your sister and your family!!
Her friend shwan! I’ve watched an interview for her in Arabic on Germany tv channel
Buetiful in all the meanings there is!
I didn't expect to be tearing up to this ;[
Now my favorite motivational movie 🙏✅
Can the petition with International Amnesty be signed if you don’t live in Australia? I tried and it didn’t allow me to submit without choosing an Australian state.
