Toronto Film Festival opens with Netflix refugee drama
The Toronto International Film Festival opens with "The Swimmers," a movie based on the life of refugee Yusra Mardini who, after surviving a dangerous sea crossing in a rubber dinghy alongside her sister, made it into the refugee team at the 2016 Rio Olympics. "I know how Arabs are seen, I know how they portray them in films," says Manal Issa, the actress playing Yusra Mardini's sister.
