‘Clean Hands’ Official Trailer starring Zach Braff & Esther McGregor
A new indie crime thriller is set to tackle the American drug crisis with a deeply personal lens, offering viewers a stark and emotional look at the life of addiction and recovery. The film, titled Clean Hands, has officially released its trailer, signaling a powerful narrative centered on the complex relationship between a law enforcement career and personal redemption.
At the heart of the story is the true-life journey of Kevin Simmers, a decorated drug cop who transitioned into a recovery advocate, and his daughter, Brooke. The movie examines the devastating effects of the drug epidemic not just through the lens of police procedure, but through the interwoven realities of father and daughter navigating addiction and healing. It attempts to peel back the layers of the “war on drugs” to reveal the intensely private, often painful, human cost.
Clean Hands was crafted in partnership with Brooke’s House, a non-profit, all-women recovery home founded and operated by Simmers. This collaboration extended beyond the screen, with the production creating an on-set work program designed to allow women in recovery to gain film experience, ensuring authentic representation of the world of addiction on screen.
The film’s commitment to its message extends into its production values, dedicating a significant portion of its success to the community it seeks to serve. One-third of the film’s profits will be directly dedicated to Brooke’s House, ensuring that the artistic endeavor fuels essential recovery resources.
The emotional weight of the narrative is bolstered by an impressive cast, featuring established talent including Zach Braff, Esther McGregor, Abigail Spencer, Holt McCallany, and Lucas Till. Their collective presence promises to bring depth and vulnerability to the themes of justice, loss, and hope.
As this compelling story heads to Video on Demand in October, Clean Hands promises to be more than just a genre piece; it is an honest exploration of resilience, the struggle for second chances, and the enduring bond between family members confronting the shadow of the drug crisis.
