Jabari: Pierre Roberson-Roland Neptune and Saintanor Camilus’s Latest Masterstroke

Filmmaker and producer Pierre Roberson and Saintanor Camilus premiered their newest feature on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Quincy, Massachusetts, in the Greater Boston area.

Several dozen filmgoers attended the Boston-area premiere of Jabari that evening. With this latest work, Neptune and his team have achieved a remarkable artistic accomplishment.

The film tells the story of a millionaire searching desperately for his mother. Samentha Cajuste,  Jabari’s mother, worked as a housekeeper for a couple struggling to conceive. Adoption, too, had become nearly impossible for them, owing to the husband’s complicated history with children.

Faced with that situation, the couple fabricates a plot against their housekeeper, staging a false romance with the husband, whose sole aim is to impregnate the woman and then tear her from her only child. On the very day she gives birth, Jabari is taken from his mother, who was sent to a psychiatric facility.

Determined to find her son, Samentha Cajuste escapes from the psychiatric center dramatically and takes the name of Elizabeth. Years later, she is hired into Jabari’s household as a nanny—a position essentially imposed on the family by Jabari’s wife. The relationship between the two is tense from the start. Jabari treats her with disdain and contempt, never suspecting who she is, until she dies after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The film features several well-known industry names. Jean Gardy Bien-Aimé and Mora Junior Étienne each make brief but memorable appearances. Jade Bernadeau plays Anaïca, Jabari’s wife, and Ariol Grandchamps plays Robert. The cast also includes Dorothy Audry as a woman who, for years, innocently bore the accusation of having killed Anaïca’s mother — a charge lifted only when the true culprit came forward on her deathbed.

Others took part in the production as well, among them stylist and designer Edna Chery, who, as usual, delivered a masterclass by playing Jabari’s mother, and director-producer Pierre Neptune himself.

After the screening, Neptune, the film’s co-producer, actor, and director, expressed gratitude to those who attended the Boston premiere of Jabari. He announced upcoming projects and acknowledged the actors’ dedication, which contributed significantly to the film’s success.

At the conclusion of the screening, several red-carpet interviewees expressed satisfaction with the film. However, some expressed disappointment that Elizabeth revealed her identity to Jabari only at the moment of her death.
