Documentary about refugee athletes pursuing their Olympic dreams - with panel discussion
We Dare to Dream is the story of refugee athletes from Iran, Syria, South Sudan and Cameroon who swim, run and fight their way to opportunity and safety in host nations across the world. Spanning a breadth of backgrounds, personal stories and Olympic sports, the film reveals their lives and hopes as they train to compete on the world stage, showing the fire and the drive of young people forced to leave their families, homes and countries of birth to build new lives out of nothing.
Special screening with panel discussion with BAFTA-winning and Oscar®-nominated director Waad al-Kateab (For Sama) and Muna Dahouk, a judoka from Syria who competed as part of the IOC Refugee Olympic Team for Tokyo 2020 in the mixed team and -63kg events.
In collaboration with the Olympic Refuge Foundation and KLABU – an organisation which unites refugees, Dutch locals, expats, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants through the power of sports.
