A new Haitian coming-of-age fantasy-drama by a Miami-born director is premiering at one of the world’s most influential film festivals, showing scenes of Haiti rarely seen in mainstream media.
The feature is making its world premiere Friday at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
The Tropic Sun and His Eyes follows actor Stevenson Jean as Ruben, who returns to Cap-Haïtien in northern Haiti from the United States to speak with his sick and estranged father.
