He stages a "fictitious" trial in which the participants are real victims. "Cleveland Versus Wall Street" will be released in France (distributor: Les Films du Losange) with 50 prints on August 18. Its release in cinemas in the German-speaking region of Switzerland is scheduled for September 9 (JMH Distributions).
