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 and director Omar Mouallem — who is an heir to a Burger Baron throne himself — travels across rural Alberta, where the chain persists despite its many dysfunctions.
