The Swimmers, the soul-touching story of Yusra and Sara Mardini told through a commercial lens

For the #17 episode of We Belong, we take you to Germany to meet the activist Sara Mardini, a Syrian refugee, but most importantly an humanitarian activist, a swimmer and a human rights defender. In 2015 she was hailed as a hero along with her sister Yusra after saving 18 people from drowning on the hazardous journey from Turkey to the Greek islands. Back to Greece as a volunteer, she has been accused of people smuggling and she risks facing up to 25 years in prisons for having helped people. Far from giving up, Sara was listed in the TIME 100 Next List for her humanitarian work and she shared with us some details of their journey, from Syria to Berlin. Her story reflects the silent struggles that thousands of refugees face and helps us reflect on the future of Europe and its values.
