Directed by Jonathan Keijser, PEACE BY CHOCOLATE tells the amazing true story of the Hadhads, a family of Syrian refugees fleeing their nation's civil war. First to arrive is eldest son Tareq (Ayham Abou Ammar), a respected physician in his home country. As he prepares for his family's arrival, he quickly discovers that this new land of opportunity is frought with challenges, ranging from financial struggles to xenophobia. However, when his parents join him, things begin to change, especially when his father Issam (Hayem Ali) begins to sell the amazing chocolate delicacies that he create to the community. As his father's new business begins to grow in popularity, Tareq becomes torn between his family's success and creating his own legacy in the medical world. In this 1on1, we speak to Keijser about the tension between homes, the involvement of the real Hadhads and the myths of the Canadian Dream.

We're going global on this episode of BTL Radio Show with our films, one a narrative based on a true story and one a documentary, thanks to our special guests JONATHAN KEIJSER talking PEACE BY CHOCOLATE while ROBERT H. LIEBERMAN talks ECHOES OF THE EMPIRE: BEYOND GENGHIS KHAN. Writer/director JONATHAN KEIJSER kicks off the show as he joins us in talking about his narrative feature debut – PEACE BY CHOCOLATE. A feel good true story pulled from the news, this is the story of a Syrian family (and distinguished chocolatiers) who emigrate from Syria to Canada and are forced to rebuild their lives in a new country with language barriers, work issues, family struggles, father-son head-butting, unacceptance and acceptance by the community and more. A wonderful film that inspires and gives hope, Jonathan's story of bringing this film to life and working with the real family in developing the film is inspirational while the production challenges are the things that only make first-time filmmakers better. Then we cross the globe to Mongolia with a look at ECHOES OF THE EMPIRE: BEYOND GENGHIS KHAN and have a conversation with documentarian ROBERT H. LIEBERMAN. A fascinating documentary that takes us back in time to the days of Genghis Khan, examining the man himself and how he came to power, and how the Mongolian Empire came to be, only to eventually collapse, become part of the Soviet Union, and then re-emerge as a democratic country now facing issues with pollution, a dwindling way of life for the generational herders now trying to "fit in" in the modern world, and more. Beauteous eye-popping cinematography, interesting interviews from experts and Mongolian citizens alike, and a solid and engaging storyline (among many other things) are all discussed by Robert in this energetic and interesting conversation about a fascinating film. Listen as he goes in-depth about the research behind this documentary, his travels through Mongolia, meeting and living with the people, doing his own camera work, the meld of a stunning pen & ink/watercolor animation for historical aspects of the film, really getting "up close and personal" in every aspect of this documentary. One of my favorite documentaries of 2022! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

He has an amazing family and they are in an amazing community with heart-centered leaders and citizens.One of the most powerful statements Tareq shared was about immigrating to Canada and making a difference, not to take anyone else's job but rather building a business, and hiring employees of who they are doing while sharing their gift of chocolate with Canada and the rest of the world.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared Tareq and his family story with people at the United Nations and President Barack Obama was in attendance and Tareq met him and other world leaders. When it comes to the Ukrainian War, Tareq knows what the people are experiencing because he experienced it in the Pre-Syrian War which led to his refugee experienced and ultimately immigrant experience.

When Tareq Hadhad and his family left Syria in 2012, they had no idea where life would take them. Their livelihood was their chocolate factory in Damascus and it was destroyed in a bombing that Tareq's father narrowly escaped. They went to Lebanon and Tareq describes a time when he lost faith after his family's refugee application was denied by several countries. Hope finally arrived after Tareq received a call from the Canadian embassy. On a cold December day in 2015, he landed in his new home in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Five short years later, his family has rebuilt their chocolate business  and it is thriving with a recently expanded factory and a new location in the heart of Halifax. In this episode, we cover it all from the heartbreak of the war to the hope of a new beginning.

Host Mark Leger has been absorbed by books about successful Maritime entrepreneurs over the past few months, interviewing the authors of books on K.C. Irving and the founders of Radian6 and Q1 Labs, companies that sold for more than a combined $1-billion in the last decade. On this episode, Mark chats with Tareq Hadhad of Peace By Chocolate in Antigonish. Tariq and his father Isam lost the family business, a chocolate factory bombed during the war in Syria, but have since rebuilt it in Nova Scotia. Their perseverance and optimism in the face of great challenges are chronicled in a new book by Halifax journalist Jon Tattrie.

For Tareq, an entrepreneur & chocolate maker, home was in Damascus, Syria, but he has since rebuilt a brand new life with his family in Canada. With him, Tareq brought with him a meaningful family tradition which has created a flourishing chocolate business - Peace By Chocolate.   Tareq is now spreading joy not only with his delicious treats - but a steadfast commitment to helping other refugees, spreading a message of peace and to giving back to communities in need.
