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.
Directed by Academy Award®-nominated Waad al-Kateab (For Sama), executive produced by Angelina Jolie and John Legend, and produced by Academy Award winner Joanna Natasegara (The White Helmets, Virunga, The Edge of Democracy) and Emmy-winning producer Abigail Anketell-Jones (The Edge of Democracy, The Nightcrawlers) of Violet Films and Joe Gebbia of Studio Gebbia, and with the original song “Don’t Need to Sleep” performed by John Legend, We Dare to Dream is a tale of resilience and inspiration, hardship and loss, hope and home.
We Dare To Dream follows five young refugees whose lives are transformed through sport. Today, there are more than 100 million people in the world who have been forced to flee their homes, each with stories of their own. Not everyone can be an athlete, but they can benefit from safe sport that improves their mental well-being and sense of belonging. This is why the Olympic Refuge Foundation is building a movement where young people affected by displacement can thrive through sport.
