'Qatar Stars' is the first feature documentary focused on girls in Qatar. It follows “The Olympic Stars”, a rhythmic gymnastics team for girls aged 9-15. In this four-year coming-of-age story, we profile the school’s most promising gymnasts as they train and experience the joys and complications of girlhood in a rapidly shifting, and sometimes contradictory, contemporary Middle East. Envisioned by former Russian rhythmic gymnast Tatiana and her Bangladeshi husband Manzoor, their school is a small but growing business. The third partner is Haya, a Qatari national, higher ed administrator, and former gymnast herself. They started the school with an entrepreneurial spirit committed to girls’ empowerment, development, and opportunity. Their aspiration is to train the girls to be the first-ever official Qatari team at professional juniors level international competitions, outside the country. The "Professional Team” consists of the school’s top gymnasts: girls from Qatar, Lebanon, Egypt, UK, and Ukraine. Each displays talent, drive and ambition. Yet each is also a budding adolescent with insecurities, a need for friendship, social media obsessions, and the occasional meltdown. In other words, a typical pre-teen. This intimate, longitudinal story is told through the girls, their families, and the Olympic Stars school—bringing many nationalities together through sport.
