DESCRIPTION:Thur, June 7, 6:30-8:30pm, food truck parked in front of venue 5-6:30, so 
 come early\n\nKick off summer by joining the Diversity Film Series for the 
 documentary film Soufra, an inspirational story of women in a Lebanese 
 refugee camp who start a successful catering business. Come early with the 
 family to enjoy dinner at Shrimp Falafel Mix, a popular local middle 
 eastern food truck that will be available outside of the venue.\n\nA 
 stirring tale of women's empowerment, Soufra shows how societal change can 
 begin with small steps. Directed and produced by Thomas Morgan with 
 executive producer Susan Sarandon, Soufra follows the unlikely and wildly 
 inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur, Miriam Shaar -- a 
 refugee who has spent her entire life in the decrepit and dangerous Bouj El 
 Barajneh refugee camp just south of Beirut, Lebanon. The film follows 
 Miriam as she sets out to change her fate by launching a catering company 
 with a diverse team of fellow refugee women. She calls the catering company 
 'Soufra', an Arabic word meaning a long table filled with many good things 
 to eat, or dining table.\n\nIt's a documentary full of small details that 
 open up broader perspectives, and it serves as a reminder that refugees 
 have the same ambition and desire to improve their own lives and others' as 
 people lucky enough to come from stable countries.\n\nFood truck with 
 middle eastern food for purchase from 5:00-6:30 in front of 
 theater.\nAppropriate for ages 8 and up.\n\nFree; no need to RSVP, 
 appropriate for ages 8 and up.\n
