"Ali Allouche was 17 years old when he was diagnosed with cancer. After months of treatments, chemotherapy and hospital food, cooking and travel documentaries became his gateway to the outside world. Inspired by his hero, Anthony Bourdain, Ali and his Mom planned their own culinary journey across the United States, an adventure waiting for him beyond his hospital walls."

WIF Nevada will also be screening a favorite from NWFFest 2020: the short student documentary and winner of Student Emmy Awards for Best Short Film and Best Director, I Exist, by UNLV Film alums Jemsen Yumico Bollozos and Alyson Arsen.
