Despite a tangle of roadblocks and checkpoints, a thriving street car racing scene has emerged in the occupied West Bank. Held at improvised tracks, the races offer a release from the pressures and uncertainties of life under military occupation.
Brought together by a common desire to live life on their own terms, the Speed Sisters have joined the ranks of dozens of male drivers competing against each other for the title, for bragging rights for their hometown, and to prove that women can go head-to-head with the guys.
Weaving together their lives on and off the track, Speed Sisters sheds light on the rivalries that exist within the team, the pressures the women feel from their communities, and their drive to go further and faster than anyone thought they could.
