Haiti - Social : Lambert Wilson, Michaëlle Jean and BélO on France 2
Sunday, April 20, at 2h15 p.m. (French time), the French actor Lambert Wilson will be the special guest of Michel Drucker in the program "Vivement Dimanche" the hugely-popular Sunday afternoon programme on the French television channel France 2 on April 20th and rebroadcasted on TV5Monde.
The programme will celebrate Lambert Wilson's three decade-long career as an actor, and will consecrate a section to Mr Wilson's ongoing involvement with the United Nation's Mission in Haiti and his considerable emotional ties with Haiti. "My fascination for Haiti and my engagement to help promote a more positive international vision of what's really happening there is total. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the UN – and most particularly the Stabilization Mission(Minustah), for giving me the opportunity to really engage. I hope that this relationship is only beginning, as my visits to Haiti have been enormously enriching on a personal level."
Recall that Lambert Wilson has last month made a documentary on one of the Community Violence Reduction programmes run by Minustah for the French TV channel Canal+. This film, to be broadcast in June, is Mr Wilson’s directorial debut as a filmmaker.
Lambert Wilson and Michel Drucker of "Vivement Dimanche" have invited the Haitian singing star BélO to perform and speak on the programme, along with Haitian-born Michaëlle Jean, Special Envoy to UNESCO in Haiti. Together, Mr Wilson, BélO and the Right Honorable Madame Jean will discuss their passion for Haiti and their ongoing engagement to support a sustainable future.
