Inshallah a Boy is a 2023 drama film directed by Amjad Al Rasheed. A coproduction of companies from Jordan, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt, the film stars Mouna Hawa as Nawal, a recently widowed woman who must pretend to be pregnant in order to protect herself and her daughter from Jordan's patriarchal inheritance laws, which would permit her husband's family to take everything she owned, leaving Nawal with nothing, solely because she did not bear him a son.

Production

Al Rasheed and his writing partners Delphine Agut and Rula Nasser wrote the screenplay based in part on the real-life experiences of a relative of Al Rasheed's.

While the film was in production, it won the Biennale di Venezia Prize award in the Final Cut program for works in progress at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
