!f Istanbul Independent Film Festival continues in Ankara

The Ankara leg of the 15th edition of the !f Istanbul Independent Film Festival, organized with the partnership of İş Bank Maximum Card, began with screenings of outstanding indie productions. Directed by Amber Fares, the documentary film "Speed Sisters" focuses on the first all-women race car driving team in the Middle East. The team of female drivers challenges both the Israeli occupation of Palestine and conservative Palestinian society, as West Bank women who drive cars they have custom-built. Despite their financial problems and criticism from their families and society, these women made a name for themselves with their boldness. However, oppression threatens the future of the racing team. The film enables the audience to see Palestine from a different perspective while following the daily lives and racer identities of five women who never cease to surprise.
