The German review of a screening of 'Viva Sara!' in Berlin in 2015, called this film "one of the most beautiful film moments of the year". - It describes the content like this: "Sara, handicapped by polio, had taken part in the Capri-Naples swimming marathon as a young woman. 35 kilometres in the open sea. A good decade later, her proud father wanted to share this with 'Viva Sara'. As an incentive and hope for girls in Sudan that anything can be done." Klingler, Nino (31 December 2015).
