The Swimmers
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.
Milk created the VFX to support Sally El Housaini’s much anticipated feature The Swimmers (Working Title/Netflix).
A story of the miraculous journey made by swimming sisters Yusra and Sarah Mardini who fled as refugees from war-torn Syria all the way to the 2016 Rio Olympics. The Swimmers is available on Netflix.
It has been a huge honour for the Milk team to help bring this important and touching story to life, led by VFX Supervisor Murray Barber.
