+ MoreIt’s Girl Scout Cookie season, and four tenacious girls strive to be a top-selling “Cookie Queen,” navigating an $800 million business in which childhood and ambition collide.
Meet Ara, Olive, Nikki, and Shannon Elizabeth: four Girl Scouts with big personalities and big ambitions. The mission? Cookie sales. But their entrepreneurial spirit hints at bright futures ahead — think future Supreme Court justices, CEOs, and beyond.
Alysa Nahmias’ sparkling film follows the girls through a cookie-selling season, highlighting the girls’ charm and unsuspecting sharp business instincts. It isn’t just fun and games though. The girls and their families make real financial and time sacrifices to hit their goals, trading laid-back weekends for hours outside, wagons full of cookies in tow. Nahmias stays focused on the girls and their individual journeys, offering a sincere, playful window into a multimillion-dollar industry powered by their cookie booths. It’s a joyous, heartwarming, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls’ grit and ingenuity. — SO
