Speed Sisters

Dir. Amber Fares USA/Palestine 80 min Not Rated

2015 Sundance Film Forward

English & Arabic with English subtitles

The Speed Sisters are the first all‐woman race car driving team in the Middle East. Grabbing headlines and turning heads at improvised tracks across the West Bank, these five women have sped their way into the heart of the gritty, male‐dominated Palestinian street car‐racing scene. Weaving together their lives on and off the track, The Speed Sisters takes you on a surprising journey into the drive to go further and faster than anyone thought you could.

Sundance Film Forward is a touring program from the Sundance Institute that introduces a new generation of audiences to the power of story through the exhibition of film and conversations with filmmakers to create greater cultural awareness. Omaha was selected as one of four destinations for 2016. Other stops include Denver, Atlanta, and London.
