Soufra

Soufra follows the unlikely and wildly inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur, Mariam Shaar – a generational refugee who has spent her entire life in the Burj El Barajneh refugee camp just south of Beirut, Lebanon. The film follows Mariam as she sets out against all odds to change her fate by launching a successful catering company, “Soufra,” and then expand it into a food truck business with a diverse team of fellow refugee woman who now share this camp as their home.

Soufra premiered on December 15th, 2017. It has played at various film festivals including Cannes, Cinetopia, Florida Film Festival, Galway Film Fleadh, Portland International Film Festival, and The Berlin International Film Festival.
