More About Film

Directed by Thomas Morgan (Waiting for Mamu) and executive produced by Academy Award® – winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking). Soufra follows the inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur, Mariam Shaar – a refugee who has spent her entire life in the Burj El Barajneh refugee camp south of Beirut, Lebanon. The film follows Mariam and a diverse team of fellow refugee women who call their camp home as they set out to change their fate by launching a catering company, ‘Soufra’, and then expand its reach outside the camp with a food truck business. Together, they heal the wounds of war through the unifying power of food while taking their future into their own hands.
