    Soufra (A Moving Feast) is a moving tale of social activism and entrepreneurship in the face of calamity. It summarises the efforts of a social entrepreneur working to improve the lives of destitute women and their family living in a Lebanese refugee camp by turning their cooking skills into a profession. The women start a new phase in their life as chefs and creating mouth-watering delicacies that knows no boundaries. Soufra's story is inspiring and it teaches you to live life head-on. A cool watch. **Grade B**. (Watched at the 2020 IIHS UrbanLens Film Festival.)...
