“I was incensed by the number of times I was told that the dialogue sounded ‘cooler’ in English,” Manal said. “It was disrespectful and I felt insulted. I was devastated by the excessive use of English dialogue and how superficial and cheesy it is,” she said. “It felt like one of those banal American films, filled with many orientalist cliches.” 

El Hosaini prides herself on trying to make the film as authentic as possible, and went as far as filming the crossing scenes at the Aegean coast and hiring some refugees for scenes.

However, this left Manal feeling uneasy for a number of reasons, one being the six hours of filming in the middle of the sea, where they actually saw people in boats trying to cross. 

“Some cast members were crying; others felt queasy about communicating their discomfort. I reached a point where I felt it was all too much,” Manal said. “I told them you can’t invoke trauma by creating a new trauma for the performers; you don’t hurt people to just get a scene,” she said.

ok people, I’m gonna need you to hype up this movie the way you do

The Swimmers is based on the true story of Syrian refugee and olympic athlete Yusra Mardini and her activist sister Sarah Mardini.

first of all, the movie looks amazing, I mean just the teaser trailer gave me chills, and second of all, most of the cast is Arab, and I am so incredibly excited because this will likely be the first actual, accurate Middle Eastern representation on a major Western streaming platform!

and so I need you people to hype this movie up like you would any other poc rep, because while I usually hate true story film adaptations, this movie looks like it’s gonna be a banger

#literally no one is promoting this #so i guess i’m gonna have to #yusra mardini #sarah mardini #the swimmers #the swimmers netflix #the swimmers 2022 #the swimmers movie #netflix #sally el hosaini #jack thorne #nathalie issa #manal issa #matthias schweighöfer #middle eastern representation #middle eastern rep #arab representation #arab rep #poc representation
