Madonna financed FIRST middle eastern ALL woman racing docu
The Speed Sisters are the first ever all-woman racing team in the Middle East – and now a documentary charting their success (backed by Madonna) is hitting the big screen
Putting her money where her mouth is and finances the first documentary about a middle eastern all-woman racing team.
"A car doesn't know if you are a woman or a man!" Betty says. "I don't think we need to be tomboys just because we like cars. We need to be ourselves."
Directed by Amber Fares, the documentary has been in the works for over five years – but suffered huge delays due to a lack of funding and mobility - not to mention being shot at by Israeli soldiers. But after Madonna spotted the trailer online in 2013, and donated $10,000 to help finance its release, production finally kicked off.

This is why I love Madonna. Every now and then she reminds me.
