“Inshallah A Boy” is a film directed by Jordanian director Amjad Al-Rasheed. This film was chosen as the opener for JWCW 2023 because it dares to raise issues related to the law on inheritance rights in Islam which affected a widow with a child (a woman). This premise is believed to have a close issue and strong relevance to the Indonesian public.
The film “Inshallah A Boy” also managed to receive warm praise after the 2023 Cannes film festival and was presented as Jordan’s official representative film for the 2024 Oscars.
Meanwhile, the JWCW film festival features around 90 selected films from 54 countries. Viewers can watch these selected films directly at the CGV Grand Indonesia cinema or online at the KlikFilm pay video service.
