Nathalie plays the part of Yusra Mardini who is training to be an Olympian swimmer in Syria when she has to flee the country with her sister and cousin. #YusraMardini #Olympian #Syria
What follows (in this true story) is their journey as #refugees which includes swimming a sinking boat of fellow refugees to safety in the sea. #truestory #journey #refugees
The film is exceptional in the way that it humanizes refugees and Nathalie’s performance is breathtaking. #humanize #performance #breathtaking
During the episode we chat about how Nathalie had to face one of her biggest fears to take on the role, filming with her sister, how she conveyed Yusra so authentically and we chat about Nathalie’s own story which involves leaving Lebanon for a life in France. #interview #fears #filming #authentic #Lebanon #France
Later we chat about Nathalie’s views on beauty and what it means to her. #beauty #views #meaning
I adored getting to know Nathalie. She is so incredibly honest and authentic and I think you’ll her find her story and views on beauty fascinating. #honest #authentic #fascinating #Nathalie
