I watched a bunch of Canadian films leading up to #NCFD 🇨🇦
Fourth one: Peace by Chocolate (2021)
Based on the true story of Syrian immigrants who start over in Antigonish, NS.
Heartfelt, funny, and full of charm.
Fav moment: When Issam accidentally sells chocolate to Tareq’s new hire 😂

Third up: C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005)
A lush, emotional coming-of-age set in 60s–70s Québec.
Zach grows up in a Catholic family, wrestling with sexual identity, faith & the need to be seen.
Fav moment: His surreal, grounding road trip to Jerusalem.

I’m watching Canadian films all week leading up to #NCFD 🇨🇦
First up: Ladies and Gentlemen… Mr. Leonard Cohen (1965)
A charming, curious black-and-white doc that captures Cohen pre-fame, all Montreal cool and dry wit.
Fav moment: Fumbling with the blinds - “I was always good with my hands.”
