Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired U.S. distribution rights to CHEMSEX, a hard-hitting British documentary produced by Vice Films. Directed by William Fairman and Max Gogarty, the doc exposes the explicit and dark side to modern gay life in London.

CHEMSEX made its world premiere at London Film Festival in 2015, receiving four star reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Skinny who raved CHEMSEX is "a must see 'issues' film."

Official Synopsis: Traversing an underworld of intravenous drug use and weekend-long sex parties, "Chemsex" tells the story of several men struggling to make it out of 'the scene' alive - and one health worker who has made it his mission to save them. While society looks the other way, this powerful and unflinching film uncovers a group of men battling with HIV, drug addiction and finding acceptance in a changing world.

Breaking Glass' CEO Rich Wolff negotiated the deal with Nathan Fischer of Stray Dogs. "Chemsex holds back no punches, it is a visceral and honest look at a subculture that many are unaware of. This kind of unflinching story is synonymous with the Vice brand and Breaking Glass could not be more excited to work with them in bringing this powerful documentary to North American audiences," says Michael Repsch, SVP of Sales & Distribution at Breaking Glass Pictures.

Breaking Glass is planning a VOD and DVD release for November 2016.
