"We are pleased to bring the film to Palm Beach International Film Festival for its USA premiere, given the large Haitian diaspora here in Florida" says the film's co-director Isabelle Depelteau. Haiti Untold also provides an unusual counter point-of-view of what is really happening in the country, looking at the impact of 'first-world' media bias on the "Haitian story". see trailer here http://haitiuntold.com "We had great access to key players from organizations whose story has yet to be properly told in the media. But perhaps the most striking narrative is that of Jean marc Jean-François, a young Haitian man who speaks to the future of his country, the hopes and dreams of an emerging working class looking to build a future for themselves. It is time this story be told." Says Dan Shannon, the film's producer and co-director. Haiti Untold screeners and private screening links are available to international buyers and press.
