A Fiction Inspired by a National Drama

Far from being a documentary or a direct tribute, « July 7 » offers a fictionalized approach to the Moïse case. The film follows Shedeline Jacques, a brilliant student portrayed by Raquel Pélissier (former Miss Haiti and Miss Universe 2016 finalist), who decides to dedicate her university thesis to the deceased president. But by digging too deeply, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of mysteries, explosive revelations, and unforeseen dangers. With an estimated budget of 10 million dollars, « July 7 » is one of the most ambitious productions in Haitian cinema. This substantial funding allowed for the recreation of the tense political atmosphere that prevailed in Haiti at the time of the assassination, while offering meticulous staging and convincing acting performances. Robenson Lauvince, the director, however, made it clear that it was not a faithful reconstruction of the facts, but rather a fiction inspired by the political context and the events that shook Haiti. A must-see film that promises to reignite debates and captivate attention far beyond Haitian borders.
