Greenwich Entertainment Acquires NA Rights To Cold War-Themed Documentary ‘Neither Confirm Nor Deny, “Jaw-Dropping Spy Heist”

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: We can confirm that Neither Confirm Nor Deny has been acquired for North American distribution by Greenwich Entertainment.

The company plans a theatrical release later this year for the documentary about a dramatic incident from the Cold War, which involved an attempt to capture an alluring prize on the ocean floor.

Philip Carter makes his directorial debut with the film, which premiered at DOC NYC last November. “At the height of the Cold War, the CIA is tasked with an audacious covert mission: recovering a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine from the bottom of the ocean,” notes a description of the documentary. “The mission hangs in the balance as the agency and its activities are caught in a power play between the press and the White House.

With firsthand accounts from the principal players, Neither Confirm Nor Deny is a timely look into America’s clandestine underbelly with a long history of questionable tactics.” The high-stakes tale goes back to 1974 when the Ford administration undertook a secret effort to locate the Soviet sub K-129, which had sundered after an on-board explosion.
