A Dark Truth

2012 · 106 min

A grim, fast-moving eco-thriller that trades subtlety for urgency, mixing jungle chases with corporate cover-ups and a weary sense of outrage.

Genres
Action, Thriller
Tagline
Escape the jungle. Expose the truth.
Overview
In the jungles of Ecuador, blood taints the waters. A multinational conglomerate's unholy alliance with a bloodthirsty military regime has resulted in a massacre. Only the rebel Francisco Franco and his determined wife Mia can prove the truth. To settle a personal debt, former CIA agent Jack Begosian takes on the freelance assignment to rescue Francisco and risks everything in a brutal battle to expose the cover-up.
