“I met my best friend while selling Girl Scout Cookies.” Roadside Attractions & Vertical have revealed the first official trailer for Cookie Queens, a delightful documentary film about Girl Scout Cookie sellers. This initially premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and earned plenty of nice reviews. A celebration of girlhood and the complexities that come with it, Cookie Queens is a coming-of-age story about the joys, pressures, tensions woven into one of America’s most cherished rituals: Girl Scout Cookie season. The doc follows four different young Girl Scouts as they go through a season of trying to sell cookies and become the top seller in their area. It’s not easy! Sundance adds: “It isn’t just fun & games though. The girls & their families make real financial and time sacrifices to hit their goals, trading laid-back weekends for hours outside, wagons full of cookies in tow. Nahmias stays focused on the girls & their individual journeys, offering a sincere, playful window into a multimillion-dollar industry powered by their cookie booths. It’s a joyous, heartwarming, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls’ grit and ingenuity.” I’ve seen this and it’s pretty good!
