| Summary |
"This documentary observes an interesting battle between ancient culture and modern demand when a Sudanese woman starts a cooking school for refugee men who have never before set foot in a kitchen. This story is a delightful look at the strength of boundaries set by ancient culture, engrained from the start of time, but the necessity to adjust them for survival in the modern world. In Sudan it is taboo for a man to cook. But when a group of refugee Sudanese men in Adelaide are found starving because they don't know what to do with a fridge full of groceries, something has to change. Ayen Kuol, a Sudanese health worker decides to challenge a million years of custom and culture and start a cooking school for African men. " -- website |
