    • Synopsis
    • The Lebanese Burger Mafia captures
      the trials and tribulations of Arab
      immigrants by telling the story of Burger
      Baron, a rogue fast-food chain likened to
      the mob. To unearth the mysterious
      origins of the chain, writer/director Omar
      Mouallem—himself an heir to a Burger
      Baron throne—travels across rural
      Alberta where the institution persists
      despite the restaurant’s many
      dysfunctions. He discovers how hundreds
      of immigrants like his parents spread
      their trade secrets to uplift their
      communities, while paradoxically fighting one another for ownership of a company none of them created.
