About:
A diverse group of Middle Eastern women attempt to expand their unique catering company.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Assembling a diverse group of Middle Eastern women with a shared love of food, Mariam Shaar successfully launches Soufra, her own catering company. What makes her enterprise unique is that Mariam has lived her entire life in Burl El Barajneh, a refugee camp near Beirut, home to everyone on her team. This entertaining and inspirational film follows the intrepid entrepreneur as, against all odds, she attempts to expand her business with a little help from Kickstarter.
