Aml Ameen Leads Cast In True-Crime Thriller ‘Killing Of A Nation’
Deadline reports that Aml Ameen will play the lead in the feature thriller Killing of a Nation, a film about political unrest and crime in Haiti.
Also starring are Jimmy Jean-Louis, Aïssa Maïga, O-T Fagbenle, Amaury Nolasco, Ayoola Ayolola, Jairo Ordoñez, Grainger Hines and Grace Van Dien.
Ameen plays Anderson Toussaint, a young American lobbyist for an investment fund in Haiti who becomes entangled in a web of corruption and power struggles after gaining access to President Jovenel Moise’s inner circle. The country’s political woes ultimately lead to the shocking assassination of Moïse and the country descends further into chaos.
Filming wrapped last month in Panama on the under-the-radar English-language project from director Carlos Bolado and writer Jimena Gallardo. Olga Segura is producing with Harold Sánchez.
Ameen most recently starred opposite Jeff Daniels in the Netflix limited series A Man In Full from David E. Kelley, and portrayed Martin Luther King Jr opposite Colman Domingo in Netflix’s Oscar-nominated Rustin. He is currently working on a sequel to Christmas rom-com Boxing Day, which he co-wrote, starred in and directed.
