Desperate for the rush of adrenaline and throb of multi-cylinders, five Palestinian women decided to compete in male-dominated car races. They are Betty, Marah, Mona, and Rhana Noor, between 22 and 32 years, and in Palestine they are known as the Speed Sisters. The first women to compete in car racing, they challenge men on the circuit trying to become the Fastest Palestinian Woman and prove to the world that a woman is equal to man.
