The film follows: Yasmin, a mother of four living in a tent in the port of Athens; Samra, a widow on the Turkey-Syria border grappling with the decision to leave her children in an orphanage in hopes of giving them a better chance in life; 22-year-old Omar, who’s taken on the role of parent to his younger brother in Pennsylvania; Diaa, who’s remained in Syria while tirelessly searching for her “disappeared” son; and Safwan, who lives in temporary housing in Germany and laments lost milestones with his children.Epic in scope but intimate in feel, Simple As Water underscores the universal importance of family.
Simple As Water was shortlisted for an Academy Award and nominated for Emmy, PGA and Peabody awards. Mylan has been recognized with an Independent Spirit Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, Peabody and several Emmy nominations.
