Film Screening: Soufra
Event Information
Description
Soufra Film Screening followed by Palestinian Lunch
The event is free, but registration is required!
Soufra follows the inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur, Mariam Shaar – a refugee who has spent her entire life in the Burl El Barajneh refugee camp south of Beirut, Lebanon. The film follows Mariam and a diverse team of fellow refugee women 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.
There will be a collection taken to benefit Soufra! We would be very grateful if attendees would kindly consider making a donation. Any amount you can give, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.
