Peace by Chocolate

A Syrian family emigrates to Nova Scotia by way of the Lebanese refugee camps. The father was the premier chocolatier in Syria before his factory was bombed. Now in a small village in Nova Scotia, he encounters Canadian hospitality and family strife as he chances on an opportunity to begin making chocolate again. A good anecdotal bio-pic, with the biggest takeaway probably the difference between how the opposition panned out compared to if this was set in any U.S. town.
