Cookie Queens

_Cookie Queens _is a coming-of-age documentary about the joys and pressures woven into one of America’s most cherished rituals: Girl Scout Cookie season, an $800 million business in which innocence and ambition collide. Captivating, candid, and full of heart, the film follows four girls ages 5 to 12 and their families as they navigate the annual whirlwind of selling, striving, and succeeding. For them, selling cookies isn’t just about Thin Mints and sisterhood – it’s a crash course in commercialism. Behind the smiles and cookie boxes lie real pressure: long hours, ambitious sales goals, and the weight of high expectations.

With humor and warmth, Director Alysa Nahmias shows what it means to grow up in a world shaped by the tensions between community and capitalism.
