Jon Sparks<p>Watching <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/TheSwimmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheSwimmers</span></a> on Netflix. Excellent so far.<br />It’s based on the book ‘Butterfly’ by <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/YusraMardini" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>YusraMardini</span></a>, which had a big impact on me a couple of years ago.<br />This is the kind of story that, repeated a million times, shows us what really lies behind the <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/refugee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>refugee</span></a> ‘crisis’. Maybe it is a crisis, but not for us.<br />Read the book or watch the film, maybe even both. Please.</p>
