Asian Premiere: Soufra

From 1 September 2018 to 2 September 2018

Capitol Theatre, 17 Stamford Road, Singapore 178907

Award-winning director, Thomas Morgan follows the unlikely and wildly inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur, Mariam Shaar – a generational refugee who has spent her entire life in the 65-year-old Burl El Barajneh refugee camp just south of Beirut, Lebanon. The film follows Mariam as she sets out against all odds to change her fate by launching a successful catering company, “Soufra,” and then expand it into a food truck business with a diverse team of fellow refugee women who now share this camp as their home.

 

There will also be Q&A sessions with the director, GIGI Bloks installation sessions and a Social Impact Market at the event.
