Polanski Biopic on DVD

Considering the current legal disputes, it is unlikely Polanski will be in attendance, but for the rest you, as a popular critic put it, "Check it out - you'll thank me later."

This is a film Hollywood does not want you to see, but must be seen to be believed.

"Polanski Unauthorized" is directed by and stars Damian Chapa who is famous for his lead role in Taylor Hackford's cult classic "Blood in Blood Out" as well as "Under Siege" starring Steven Seagal released by Warner Brothers. Chapa also starred in Brett Ratners "Money Talks". Co-producer Edmund Druihlet says that it's the only film that has the truth and actually shows the rape.

The main cast includes: Damian Chapa (Roman Polanski), Leah Grimsson (13 year old Girl), Thomas Druilhet (The Devil), Brienne De Beau (Sharon Tate), Silvia Suvadova (Polanski's Mother), Christian Serritiello (Polanski's Father), and Paul James Saunders (Eugene Gatowski)
