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!!

[@Latinmonalisa]

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

[@jerryjames1131]

It did make news in the Middle East

[@iccotom]

Cuz we had Covid and now Ukrainian war. News is news until ... Well, we all know how the media unfortunately works.

[@hydrosphere8447]

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!

[@last7509]

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.

[@user-qb4on2qm7z]

​@@hydrosphere8447Please. Should have stayed and fought.

[@AnnikaWithAk]

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.

[@anacondrat3157]

These sisters are incredible. Sara is a true gem, if only the world would raise up to the occasion and treat them well

[@RaprapDy]

After watching their story in netflix now i was here. Their story are so inspiring.

[@chupeauxx]

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!

[@Hardil]

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

[@lafondawilliams]

😂

[@ssa5875]

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!!

[@lttlejordan23]

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!

[@ritalahoud4082]

I met you the year you returned to Mytilene. You are an inspration for refugee children and adults like me as well. Great job!

[@chaseabster]

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 ❤

[@keniabeltran5678]

We have to make it viral she can't go to jail for 25 years

[@chiklua]

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.

[@nait7717]

Do you know the link she talked about ?

[@chiklua]

@@nait7717 no. I find it weird that this is not all over her sister's Instagram or something.

[@noorulhudaabubakar3741]

Is she alright now? I wonder

[@jy2044]

So inspiring! Thank you Sarah for all that you have done; we should all aspire to care for others like we care for ourselves!

[@faldeek2462]

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.

[@elvisbz]

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.

[@maazmaazen2383]

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

[@A_1PERSONMEDIA]

Damn i went through the same journey as her, but in a boat though. Respect for her she's a hero.🙏❤💯

[@rollsroycemagdale4192]

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 👏👏👏👏👏

[@uncannyvalley2113]

you don't have to put people down to lift others up

[@netayconnection6236]

@WildChild So true, and I feel like a lot of people have become "woke"

[@iccotom]

"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.

[@Anastasia-ex7iw]

Yes! 👏👏👏👏 as a woman agree

[@thecrazyfeline]

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.

[@antonyroberts8445]

Very inspiring women. Gives me faith in humanity.

She shouldn't have been arrested. This is the world we live in. Those who are good get punished but the bad are rewarded.

[@Karibu101]

What a woman! True hero in my opinion!

[@BrimstoneMoth]

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...

[@DsRelaxingSounds]

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.
