EXCLUSIVE: Greenwich Entertainment is going big on Loudmouth. The company has acquired North American rights to the documentary about the Rev.
Al Sharpton, and plans a December 9 theatrical release for the film just as Oscar shortlist voting rolls around.The film directed by Josh Alexander held its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, examining an activist, commentator and occasional political candidate who has been a major part of American life for almost 40 years.“Sharpton has been a polarizing figure, inspiring both love and hate on local and national stages,” a release for the film stated. “Chronicling his work for social change from the streets of 1980s Brooklyn to 2020s Minneapolis, Loudmouth presents never-before-seen footage of the social justice titan on the frontlines, in the media as well as in the corridors of power, to paint an intimate and revealing portrait of a tireless warrior who has never ducked a fight in his mission to transform the status quo.”Alexander’s documentary credits include co-directing Prescription Thugs, producing Southern Rites and co-executive producing United Skates.“As much as this is a film about the Reverend Al Sharpton, it’s also about the system that defined him and fought him,” Alexander said in a statement. “We’re thrilled that the smart and passionate team at Greenwich is coming on board to release the film and show critics and fans alike a side of Al Sharpton that has rarely made its way into the media narrative around him.”The documentary, a production of The Get Lifted Film Co., Group Effort Films, Massenburg Media and Naked Edge Films, was executive produced by BRON Studios, Salmira Productions, Olive Hill Media, XRM and Hot Docs Partners.
