Overview

50 Meters is a personal documentary directed by Yomna, who turns the camera on her own father and his water aerobics team — a group of men in their sixties splashing through routines in a small pool. What begins as a debut film project becomes something more searching: a daughter's attempt to reach her father across years of distance and unspoken tension, and to reclaim her own narrative within a deeply patriarchal society. Funny, intimate, and quietly courageous, 50 Meters uses the confines of a swimming pool to explore much larger questions about autonomy, reconciliation, and what it costs a woman to find her own voice.
