“This is a true story that can actively save lives,” said writer and director Jake Allyn. “It left me believing in miracles, and I’m so proud to share that miracle with the world.”
Kirk D’Amico commented: “We are delighted to bring Jake Allyn’s Clean Hands to international audiences. Anchored by a powerful performance from Zach Braff, this emotionally gripping true story delivers both the intensity of a dramatic thriller and the authenticity of lived experience. Jake has assembled an exceptional cast that brings remarkable depth and humanity to a complex and timely subject. Clean Hands explores the challenges of confronting the drug trade while never losing sight of the profound impact it has on families, making for a compelling and deeply resonant film.”
