Go With Peace Jamil is about ancient religious hatred, love, punishment, guilt, redemption, being responsible for one’s own actions and refusing a path of violence.

An action drama set in Copenhagen against the backdrop of a religious hatred that goes centuries back the film tells the story of young Jamil, a Dane with Arab background, who finds himself in the middle of an ancient feud, trying to follow his own way and choose rightly between vengeance and reconciliation.

Omar Shargawi (born to a Danish mother and a Palestinian father) has been likened to an Arabic Sam Peckinpah and won at the Rotterdam Film Festival for this debut feature chronicling the vicious circle of revenge and atonement in an Arab community in Denmark.

"With his first feature, Shargawi expertly creates an atmosphere of tension leavened by affections all too often set aside." - Variety.

This film is shown as part of the Northern Lights Film Festival

As part of the festival, the Star and Shadow will also be showing Tsietsi My Hero, in presence of the director coming all the way from South Africa, on Thu 4 Dec.
