There has not yet been any public confirmation that the film has sold to a distributor, and in fact, the International Documentary Association reported that: “A few of the nonfiction titles came to the Festival with distribution, but the vast majority of documentaries were still looking for a home, with not a single reported acquisition deal so far.”

As reported in Newsweek, Alysa Nahmias, the film’s director, told the International Documentary Association: “The market is really awful right now and it’s been so hard for so many of us. We can choose to feel powerless—or maybe we are powerless—but I do want to believe that things can change.”

The film debut at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on January 25. Although Meghan and Prince Harry did not participate in the film they were named as executive producers and attended the screeening.

The documentary follows four Girl Scouts as they bake and sell cookies.

Inside the theater, Meghan took the stage to introduce Nahmias ahead of an early-morning screening of the film.

“Yes, it’s probably the cutest film at the festival,” she said. “But I’m also going to go out on a limb and say it’s one of the most powerful and meaningful depictions of an American tradition.”

Describing the film, Meghan said it takes “something that is rooted in nostalgia” and reexamines it through director Alysa Nahmias’ creative lens to present a modern view of “the girlhood experience”.

The documentary was directed by Alysa Nahmias, with Archewell Productions partnering alongside Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films.

The project is a personal one for Meghan, who was a Girl Scout growing up in California, with her mum, Doria Ragland, having the role as her troop leader.
