Haitian Film on Jovenel Moïse, “July 7” to Premier in Big Screens

USA – July 17, 2022 —

Directed by Robenson Lauvince, a Haitian director, the film was shot in respect to the tragedy that occured on 7th of July 2021 where the production team hopes to start the healing process and wishes to use this film as an instrument of hope for fortitude and unity among Haitians. 

“As a film maker, it was always my dream to document what is happening in my country. A lot of events have happened in the country without there really being a professional production tracing them for the whole world to watch. When the president was assassinated, I did the same constant and the idea came to me to make this film ,” Lauvince told a media outlet in the Haitian capital.

They also hope that this film will be an eye opener and will help the international community to put certain stigmas and beliefs about Haiti into proper perspective.  

This feature film brings together great celebrities such as Raquel Pélissier, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Fresnel Larosilière, Tico Armand and Eddy Francois as well as two foreign actors, Anthony Alvarez and Pedro Moreno. “Selecting the right cast was the most challenging. We wanted actors who would embody their character as written. Also considering this movie is based on a true story, making sure that we are delivering the movie the right way was very important to us.” he added.

Clearshot Entertainment, the production team also faced many other challenges while working on the film as they are developing a prevalent historic story that is so rich yet in reality it is still a mystery that is unfolding. “Here we have this movie as a report that has yet to have any significant findings or updates. So, you can imagine how bringing something like that to life is a challenge as there’s an unresolved mystery that has caused emotional turmoil that the people are trying to process and trying to heal from.” said a spokesperson from Clearshot Entertainment.

The film revolves around a curious college student who travels to Haiti to unravel the life of the president. While investigating the past of President Moïse for a memoir, Shedeline, the main character played by Raquel Pélissier, walks into the heart of a life-changing event for her, Haiti, and its president; as she gets a front-row seat to the chaos and intrigue of a bloody political firestorm. 

This unexpected turn of events shakes her and introduces a terrifying twist to what she thought would be an ordinary story. Now, her memory is heavy with the answer to the prodigious question hanging over an unsettled nation- Who killed the president?

The production of the film started just after the events of July 7th. The film is not yet finished but its official teaser has been released on all platforms and has already started making headlines. For the time being, no release date for the film has been communicated to the general public by the production team.
