Brief Explanation

In the MENA region, sons are expected to follow the footsteps of their fathers and obey their guidance. Our first video introduces Chef Badr, a man that dared to break societal barriers and pursue his passion in an unconventional career - culinary arts - instead of architecture like his father. After opening two restaurants, a bakery, and appearing as the head judge for Top Chef MENA, one would imagine that he had achieved it all. However, despite his great success, Chef Badr was missing one thing – his father’s approval. We set the parameters for Chef Badr to share his story in an intimate interview. Little did he know, his father was watching through cameras in a separate room. What happened next was truly an inspiring and touching #OpenUp moment.
