Last month it was announced that Lena Dunham, the American actor and creator of the hit US show Girls (2012–17) would adapt the book A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea (2017) by Melissa Fleming, the head of communications for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea tells the harrowing story of Syrian refugee Doaa al-Zamel, who survived the sinking of the boat she was on, attempting to cross from Egypt to Italy in 2014. Zamel was stranded for four days at sea, ending the ordeal holding two babies who had been entrusted to her by their dying families. Her only support was a child’s inflatable life ring given to her by her fiancé, who drowned in front of her in the choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This year alone that same body of water has claimed the lives of nearly 2,000 people. - 上个月，据宣布，美国影星列娜·邓纳姆（Lena Dunham）将改编《希望比海洋更强大》（2017年）一书。《希望比海更强大》讲述了叙利亚难民多阿·扎梅尔（Doaa al-Zamel）的悲惨故事，她在2014年试图从埃及横渡到意大利的船只沉没中幸存下来。扎梅尔在海上搁浅了四天，结束了抱着两个孩子的苦难，这两个孩子是他们垂死的家人托付给她的。她唯一的支持是她的未婚夫送给她的一枚充气生命戒指，她被淹没在地中海波涛汹涌的海面上。仅今年一年，同样的水就夺去了将近2000人的生命。
