Due for release in eighteen months the film is called Olympia, after her grandmother. Samar says, “I titled the film after my grandmother because she was one of the women that left Lebanon during WW1. The Ottoman Empire at that time gave permission for the women and children to leave, but needed the men to stay behind to fight the war and work in the mountains of Turkey.” The one and a half hour documentary is about the early Lebanese immigration to the United States, during 1850-1914, and the women who became the heroes of this effort. It will be a mixture of true life stories and a drama filled documentary. Samar says this film has always been her passion to make and she hopes the film will change her life and influence the Lebanese community. She says, “this film will take eighteen months to film as it’s a very rich documentary and there is a lot of information to cover.”
