Raoul Peck Directing Documentary ‘The Hands That Held The Knives’ On Assassination Of Haitian President Jovenel Moise
Raoul Peck is currently in production on 'The Hands That Held the Knives,' his next documentary on the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Mois.
Raoul Peck, the filmmaker behind Academy Award-nominated documentary I Am Not Your Negro, is in production on his next feature doc — an investigation into the 2021 assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moise, tentatively titled, The Hands That Held the Knives. His investigation takes him deep into the politics of Haiti, its relationship with the United States, and the corrupt business empires and criminal organizations — dealing drugs and contraband throughout the Caribbean, using weapons trafficked from the U.S. — which have now rendered the country a hellscape for its citizens. Premiering at the 2016 Toronto Film Festival, where it won the coveted People’s Choice Award, Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro delves into the life and work of African American writer and social critic James Baldwin.
