Description
The Toronto International Film Festival opens with "The Swimmers" a movie based on the life of a Syrian refugee who swam for the Refugee team at the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics. Yusra Mardini and her sister Sara made headlines in 2015, when they used their swimming skills on their journey from Turkey to Greece. "We really hope that it will change the minds of a lot of people", says Nathalie Issa the actress playing Yusra. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
