ABOUT SPEED SISTERS
Amber Fares | Sports Documentary | 80 mins | 2015 | Palestine, Qatar, Canada | Arabic with English subtitles *Family-Friendly*
Despite a tangle of roadblocks and checkpoints, a thriving street car racing scene has emerged in the West Bank. Held at improvised tracks, the races offer a release from the pressures and uncertainties of life under military occupation. The fanfare and rivalry between cities brings spectators out in droves, lining rooftops and leaning over barricades to snap photos of their favorite drivers and to catch the final scoreboard. A riveting documentary, Speed Sisters follows the first all-women racing team in the Middle East. Grabbing headlines and turning heads, the film weaves together their lives on and off the track. Listed as 11+ years on Common Sense Media.
