Fiction based on true story. From war-torn Syria to the 2016 Rio Olympics, two young sisters embark on a harrowing journey as refugees, putting both their hearts and champion swimming skills to heroic use.  The director wanted to raise awareness and hope for millions of refugees around the world and speak for all of those who do not have a voice.
