The new film "July 7: Who Killed the President of Haiti"? premieres in Ohio tomorrow, Friday, May 16, at the AMC DINE-IN Easton Town Center 30 in Columbus. The premiere comes just a few days before Haitian Flag Day on Sunday.
The film, which is based on the real-life assassination of former Haitian president Jovenel Moïse in 2021, will have two showings: 3:45 PM and 6:30 PM.
A curious college student travels to Haiti to unravel the life of the president. What she finds is...unspeakable.
While investigating the past of President Moise for a memoir, Shedeline 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 questions hanging over an unsettled nation. Who killed the president?Synopsis
