She added: “When we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in.
“The creative point of view, the edgy yet humanising tone and tenor of the directing, and the glimpse behind-the-scenes into such a nostalgic and also modern tradition of Girl Scout cookie season are absolutely irresistible.”
Inside the documentary Cookie Queens
Cookie Queens follows four girls aged between five and twelve, along with their families, as they navigate the intense and emotional experience of the annual Girl Scout cookie-selling season.
According to the film’s description, the feature is “captivating, candid, and full of heart.”
“For these Girl Scouts, selling cookies isn’t just about Thin Mints and sisterhood – it’s a crash course in entrepreneurship. Behind the smiles and cookie boxes lie real pressure: long hours, ambitious sales goals, and the weight of high expectations.
“Nahmias crafts a bold, vibrant, observational portrait that honours the girls’ perspectives and illuminates the emotional and intellectual stakes of their experiences.”
