After his family's chocolate factory is bombed in Syria, Tareq Hadhad and his family immigrate to the small Canadian town of Antigosh, and his father Issam starts to make chocolate again. Issam encounters stiff competition, causing Tareq to contemplate following his dreams of becoming a doctor or helping to preserve his family legacy.

Producer-director Jonathan Keijser’s debut feature is a fish-out-of-water tale that softens the edges in the story in favour of eccentric character comedy and mild family conflict. Oh, and it does a pretty good job of portraying Antigonish as one icy-cold but warm-hearted town.
Movie Nation by Roger Moore
Peace by Chocolate is a charming, almost achingly-sweet fish-out-of-water comedy about Syrian Civil War refugees adjusting to life in small town Canada. Considering the family business they try to establish — chocolate making– “sweet” is pretty much a given.
