Dear Esteemed Buyers and Friends,
This Cannes season, we are proud to bring you for international sales a handful of documentaries from two extraordinarily talented filmmakers.
First, we offer the latest work by Jeffrey Schwarz (Vito): I AM DIVINE follows the internationally recognized drag superstar from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to his wildly successful collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. The film premiered at SXSW earier this year and will play at Sheffield Doc/Fest next month.
We are also honored to be working with Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, Rethink Afghanistan). War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State (2013) follows the stories of four courageous men compelled to expose acts of illegality and violations to the U.S. constitution during the explosion of the national security state under recent Presidential Administrations.
Koch Brothers Exposed (2012) is an exposé on the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who helped finance the conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity
More information about the films is provided below, as are Cindando screening links. DVD screeners are available upon request.
The Film Collaborative is partnering with Recreation on international sales for these titles. They will be attending Cannes, and their sales office will be situated at Riviera # A7.
All the best,
Orly Ravid, Founder & Co-Executive Director

I Am Divine
ABOUT THE FILM:
I AM DIVINE is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I AM DIVINE is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.

Koch Brothers Exposed
ABOUT THE FILM:
KOCH BROTHERS EXPOSED is a hard-hitting investigation of the 1% at its very worst. This full-length documentary film on Charles and David Koch—two of the world’s richest and most powerful men—is the latest from acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, Rethink Afghanistan). The billionaire brothers bankroll a vast network of organizations that work to undermine the interests of the 99% on issues ranging from Social Security to the environment to civil rights. This film uncovers the Kochs’ corruption—and points the way to how Americans can reclaim their democracy.
