Soon to be a major film produced by Steven Spielberg and J. J.
Abrams. This is the story of Doaa, an ordinary girl from a village
in Syria, who in 2015 became one of five hundred people crammed on
to a fishing boat setting sail for Europe. The boat was
deliberately capsized, and of those five hundred people, eleven
survived; they were rescued four days after the boat sank. Doaa was
one of them - her fiance Bassem, with whom she had fled, was not;
he drowned in front of her. Melissa Fleming, the Chief Spokesperson
for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, heard about Doaa and the
death of 489 of her fellow refugees on the day she was pulled out
of the water. She decided to fly to Crete to meet this
extraordinary girl, who had rescued a toddler when she was nearly
dead herself. They struck an instant bond, and Melissa saw in Doaa
the story of the war in Syria embodied by one young woman. She has
decided to tell Doaa's story - the dangers she fled, and the
journey she risked to escape the conflagration in her homeland.
Doaa is the face of the millions of mothers, fathers, sisters,
brothers, daughters and sons who risk everything as they try to
escape war, violence and death. Doaa's story will revolutionize how
we see the thousands of people who die every year in search of a
home. It will squarely face one of the greatest moral questions of
our age: will we let more people die in boats and trucks, or will
we find a way to help them?
