Movie Night in Aachen: “The Swimmers”
On Tuesday, November 24, the Depot, the City of Aachen’s Municipal Integration Center, and Wegweiser in the Aachen region cordially invite you to a joint movie night at the Depot Aachen, Talstraße 2.
The moving film “The Swimmers,” based on a true story, will be shown. It tells a story of escape, solidarity, and extraordinary courage.
The film follows the two Syrian sisters, Yusra and Sarah Mardini, who are forced to flee the war in their homeland. On their perilous journey across the Mediterranean, their boat gets into distress. The two sisters jump into the water and, through their courageous efforts, save numerous lives. Their escape eventually leads them to Germany. There, Yusra tries to pursue her dream of swimming—and makes it all the way to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The film powerfully tells a story of hope, perseverance, and the strength to never give up, even under the most difficult conditions.
The movie night offers an opportunity for shared experiences, socializing, and conversation. The event is open to anyone interested aged 16 and older and is free of charge. Light refreshments are included. Please register in advance at: depot@mail.aachen.de
