SPEED SISTERS by Amber Fares (79 minutes, 2015)

Averroès Junior Award, 2M and RAI3 Broadcasting Award at the 2015 PriMed.

Hooked on adrenaline and powerful cars, five young Palestinian women take part in men’s competitions. Their names: Marah, Mona, Noor and Maysoon, they’re in their late twenties and in Palestine they’re known as the Speed Sisters. The first women to take part in car races, they pit themselves against men on the track, striving to become the fastest woman in Palestine – and prove to the world that a woman is equal to a man.

An event organised in partnership with the Bibliothèque de l’Alcazar.
