 Don Cheadle, Mos Def and Angelea Bassett are among the A-listers Danny Glover 
has attached to his upcoming feature on
Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L'Ouverture.

"I've got a powerful cast," says Glover who will direct the labor of love he's 
been trying to get done for some 20 years. "We also have Wesley Snipes,
Roger Guenvere Smith, plus a number of other African and Haitin Actors."

[Minsky adds: the "making of" this film will be by some of our Haitian Diaspora 
filmmakers.]
