Highway 61 Entertainment, the company that created Joel Gilbert’s “The Trayvon Hoax” documentary presenting evidence of witness fraud in the 2013 murder trial of George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin, is suing a Florida cinema for censoring its message.

The complaint, filed by prominent attorney Larry Klayman in Circuit Court for the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade, is against Coral Gables Cinematheque and the city of Coral Gables, whose officials allegedly insisted on the censorship.

Highway 61 had signed contracts to screen the movie and hold a news conference on Dec. 5, 2019.

But while Gilbert was en route to the screening, the cinema canceled it, explaining that city officials insisted it be closed down.

The complaint seeks in excess of $670,000 in damages.

The complaint charges the defendants are liable for “breach of contract, as well as for tortious interference for illegal cancellation of a theater Rental Agreement contract that was signed and paid for in advance, causing Highway 61 considerable financial harm, harm to its reputation, and harm to its potential to capitalize and benefit from considerable local and national media who had confirmed RSVP to the event.”

Gilbert told reporters at the time of the cancellation: “I was shocked. It’s really sad that they can do this kind of censorship. We showed it at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and there was no problem.”

The film, according to a promo, “alleges a stunning witness fraud took place in the 2013 murder trial of George Zimmerman. Specifically, the book and film allege, with hard evidence as a result of recent investigative journalism, that the key witness for the prosecution, Rachel Jeantel, was an imposter. The real ‘phone witness’ and girlfriend of Trayvon Martin is identified as Brittany Diamond Eugene, and Gilbert exposes the entire alleged witness fraud in every detail.”

The lawsuit alleges Coral Gables Art Cinema co-executive Director Brenda Moe also “defamed and disparaged Highway 61 and Gilbert” by telling Miami CBS-4, “Gilbert never had a contract and never told them the title of the film.”

Moe also falsely claimed to The Daily Dot “no transaction had been made” when in fact she knew there was a signed rental agreement that was fully paid in advance.

Brenda Moe, the mayor of Coral Gables, city council members, and the city attorney demanded cancellation of the event less than 24 hours before the film screening, according to the lawsuit.
