&#8220;This is a monumental time&#8221; &#8211; Grammy Nominated Haiti Singer Mickael Marabou Gives a Shoutout to Will Smith’s Emancipation for a Great Cause

After a hiatus of eight months, Oscar-winning actor Will Smith has made a
comeback to the movies with Emancipation. The film showcases Smith in a
completely different and unrecognizable avatar as the actor tries to overshadow
the mayhem caused by the infamous slapgate scandal. Based on the real-life story
of Gordon aka Whipped Peter, the film touches on the sensitive topic of slavery.



Set in the 1860s, the historical drama did not receive great reviews from
critics

While Will Smith was showered with praise for his dedication to the role, people
believe that the film failed to do justice to the true story of Whipped Peter.
Critics also took offense to Robert Richardson’s spiritless cinematography and
screenplay. Amidst all the mixed reviews, Will Smith has received a big
shout-out from Mickael Marabou.

WHAT PROMPTED MARABOU TO LAUD WILL SMITH?

The Grammy Nominated Haiti Singer seemed impressed with Will Smith for speaking
the Haitian Creole language. It is one of the two official languages of the
Caribbean country. In the movie released on December 09 on Apple TV+, Smith
portrayed the character of a Haitian man who was enslaved in America. Mickael
Marabou believes that because of the award-winning actor, the country is being
discussed across the globe. She also hopes that the limelight will help her
nation fight the ongoing political war. Haiti is making headlines for being in
terror because of gang violence.

“Haiti is making history! We are in the newspaper every day. We have the biggest
political war, unfortunately. This is a monumental time for Haiti. I can imagine
what it means for us Haitians that we have all this visibility. at the moment,”
Marabou mentioned on her official Twitter handle. 

Before Emancipation

the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever honored the Haiti nation. Released in
November, the film showcased the country and a few characters speaking the
Creole language. A lot of critics were left impressed with the movie’s nod to
the Caribbean nation.
