Around 60 students attended a screening of “The Swimmers” with the movie’s subject and Olympian Yusra Mardini on Nov. 15.

UCLA’s Southwest Asian/North African Health Alliance, Students Organize for Syria and the Syrian American Medical Society hosted the event, which included the opportunity to ask Mardini questions, in Moore Hall. The biopic shows a young Mardini escaping civil and political unrest in Syria in 2015 and competing at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
