SPEED SISTERS

The Speed Sisters are the first all-woman race-car driving team in the Middle East. Racing across improvised tracks in Palestine, five bold and determined women challenge a male-dominated world while facing the restrictions and pressures of everyday life. As they compete for victory, the film follows their lives on and off the track, revealing their friendships, families, ambitions and determination to pursue their dreams despite the obstacles around them.
