He also held the position of Haiti’s minister of Culture. His directorial credits include "The Man by the Shore" (1993), presented at the Cannes Film Festival; "Lumumba" (2000), which premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes; and "Sometimes in April" (2005), which competed at the Berlin International Film Festival. His film "I Am Not Your Negro" (2016) earned an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary and won the audience award at both the Toronto International Film Festival and the Berlinale. "The Young Karl Marx" (2017, 41st Mostra) was presented in Berlin, and "Silver Dollar Road" (2023) in Toronto. Peck also directed the series "Exterminate All the Brutes", which offers a counter-narrative to white Euro-centric history.
