Seventh Art Releasing
presents "Over the GW" at the Pioneer Theatre starting on
June 27th, 2007, special press screening June 3rd at the
Pioneer. Based on a true story, the film is described as a
terrifying look into the world of corrupt drug rehabilitation
clinics that prey upon teen addicts and their parents in order to
build a cult." The film stars newcomer George Gallagher with Kether
Donohue and Justin Swain. Seventh Art's Udy Epstein, Senior VP of
Acquisitions Matt Henderson and VP of Production Lauren Cooper
negotiated the deal late Thursday night in Park City at the
Slamdance film festival with filmmakers Nick Gaglia and Kether
Donohue. In a statement, Epstein said, "With the success of our
documentary 'Jonestown' under our belt, we feel confident uncovering
the next chapter in the history of cult phenomena in America." He is
planning to launch a New York theatrical release this Spring.ďż˝

ABOUT "Over the GW"
 "Over the GW," written and directed
by Nick Gaglia, is a poignant story based on his real life
experience in a cult-like rehab. This film exposes corrupt
rehabilitation centers which prey upon vulnerable teens and their
parents and are still widespread throughout the world.
Tony (George Gallagher) and Sofia (Kether
Donohue) are two troubled teenage siblings from the Bronx. Out of
options, their mother brings them over the GW Bridge to a rehab in
Jersey. What is meant to be a 30 day stay turns into a traumatic two
and a half years in which Tony and Sofia experience abuse,
brainwashing, and false imprisonment. The director of the program,
Dr. Hiller (Albert Insinnia) leads Tony and Sofia to believe this is
the only institution that will keep them sober and if they leave
they will die...Instead, the siblings enter into a psychological and
physical struggle for their lives!
