Announcing Our Biggest and Most Exciting Project Yet: Shokolata

So honoured to share the incredible news that our family’s story is becoming an animated feature film called Shokolata, produced in Hollywood by Rising Tides Films.

The film is being shaped by an extraordinary global team of artists who have worked on some of the most iconic animated films from Disney, DreamWorks, and Sony. People who helped bring to life movies like Shrek 2, Prince of Egypt, Madagascar, Trolls, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie are now bringing our memories of Damascus and Nova Scotia, Canada, to the screen.

At a time when so many of the stories we see can leave us feeling quite hopeless, our goal is for our story to inspire and spread peace. We are proud of where we come from. We are proud of where we are. We are proud of where we are headed.

My family and I are beyond grateful for all of you for the support over the years to reach this milestone, and we cannot wait for the world to experience this wonderful film with us. 🍫

Humanity is stronger than hate, and kindness can rebuild what war and conflict break.
