TIFF 2022: 5 Must-See Movies Playing at the Toronto International Film Festival
The 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) will return September 8-18 for its 46th year. Known as one of the largest film festivals in the world, the event will open with Sally El Hosaini's The Swimmers, a drama flick about the real-life story of Yusra Mardini. Upon fleeing Syria, the teenage Olympian refugee (along with her sister and a few other onboard swimmers) drag a small boat of refugees across the Aegean Sea after its motor stops working. The movie stars sisters Nathalie Issa and Manal Issa as Yusra and Sarah Mardini, along with Army of Thieves’ Matthias Schweighöfer.
