Synopsis

It's Girl Scout Cookie season, and four tenacious girls strive to be a top-selling "Cookie Queen," navigating an $800 million business in which innocence and ambition collide.
Moviegoers are saying
Cookie Queens delivers an unexpectedly nuanced documentary that transforms what could have been a saccharine kids-selling-cookies story into a sharp examination of childhood, capitalism, and ambition. While audiences are genuinely moved by the four Girl Scouts' individual journeys—particularly five-year-old Ara's analytical prowess—many are divided on whether the film adequately interrogates the $800 million industry's exploitation of child labor or plays it too safe for mass appeal.

    ugh, gonna rain on everyone’s parade here, and say that this icked me out big time. Girl Scouts of America is just an MLM in a trench coat and i just can’t really find the joy in watching sweet and naive children work their asses off for the benefit of a giant non-profit.…

    Very sweet and compelling! The cookie manufacturers should be ashamed of themselves for not sharing more of their profits with the troops who so all the work and take the financial risk!
