Long Distance Swimmer - Sara Mardini + Conversation

PSYCHEdelight Theatre Company of Sanctuary

Event Venue Crucible Theatre Time 10:30 AM Tickets £12 |£10| Free

Screening of Long Distance Swimmer: Sara Mardini followed by a conversation with director Charly Wai Feldman and activist Sara Mardini.

After their act of heroism at sea, Sara and her sister Yusra were transformed into international celebrities. Sara became an activist and Yusra an Olympic swimmer. After their passage to Europe was guaranteed, Sara kept helping her fellow migrants and refugees, volunteering as a lifeguard with Emergency Response Center International. Because of this she was arrested by Greek authorities on various counts, including people trafficking. Long Distance Swimmer details Sara’s daily life in Berlin, as she awaits the outcome of charges that could send her to jail for years. A hero to many, she is also the victim of a system – which has come to represent so many across the continent – increasingly influenced by xenophobia.

In association with Sheffield DocFest.

HomeScreen provides refugees and asylum seekers the chance to make a short film about their homeland, creating messages, love letters, or video tours of their countries. Using a green screen studio, props and music, they will virtually travel to places they cherish but can not physically return to.
