Plot summary
Soufra is a catering company started by Mariam AlShaar, a generational refugee who has lived all her life in the Burj El Barajneh camp south of Beirut, a 68-year-old settlement that houses refugees from Palestine, Syria and Iraq. Many in the camp have lived there their entire lives. Mariam has long been known as the crazy lady. She brings the camp's women together, and they start with a small kitchen financed by a micro-loan. They plan to grow the business into the first refugee food truck, working with a diverse team of fellow refugees who share the camp as their home. Nearly insurmountable political odds stand against them.
