Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review ranny l This documentary is inspiring in every way. The film has great cinematography which made me realize what is really going on in another part of the world. The details showing the amazing people involved in the project made me want to support them through their hardships. The film provides not only an encouraging story, but hope to everyone that watches. The story follows Lebanese and Palestine women on a mission to provide for their families. It soon turns into a statement that not only can they do it, you can too. The hour long film shows the ups and downs of running a business while dealing with life issues as they blend into each other. This movie focuses on these women trying to launch their food truck with Mariam AlShaar the main instigator to their movement. AlShaar technically is the manager of their business, taking calls, figuring out what people want, how things should be presented and overseeing the wellbeing of her workers, who are also her friends. It also features Gahana, the jokester of the kitchen who loves to socialize and be around people. With Gahana in the kitchen, not only is everyone working, but laughing. Throughout the film the women have an uphill battle. Near the end, we see Mariam at the dealership to purchase the food truck. The salesman makes it clear that they need a license from the government in order to buy the car. Becoming angry and disappointed, Mariam turns to the camera and asks to stop the recording. After that, it really hits us that, not this is not only a food truck she's buying, it's so much more. If she is unable to complete the purchase, they're surely going to lose money, won't have their jobs and won't be able to provide for their families. The message of this film is about working towards your dreams, despite doubt and setbacks. I give this film 5 out of 5 stars. It is intriguing and inspiring enough to want to get up and do something. I recommend it for ages 14 to 18 as well as adults. This film is being shown at select theaters throughout the country.
