Jean Elie and Mike Gauyo created a love letter for first-generation Haitians with Send Help.
Few people relate to the struggle that comes with being first-gen but the half-hour dramedy, which premiered last week on Allblk, is a window into the internal battles that they deal with when forging a path for themselves while also being intrinsically tied to their family and their culture. Elie stars on the seven-episode comedy as Fritz, and the character’s story is also loosely inspired by his life.
