Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights to Michael Bentham’s feature film debut, Disclosure, after the topical Australian psychodrama bowed to rave reviews at Palm Springs International Film festival in January.

“Nothing could be more timely, or disturbing, than Bentham’s incredible Disclosure, a film that makes you want to scream “stop” at several points during the action”, said Richard Ross, Co-President of Breaking Glass. “Questions about truth, lying, cover-ups, sex and blackmail burst from the screen, while we the viewer attempt to take sides and place blame. We are so proud to add this stunning and controversial film to the BGP line-up.”
