Read More: Gravitas Ventures Acquires Award-Winning Adventure Doc 'Unbranded' Starting as a Kickstarter campaign, "Unbranded" has become an award-winning documentary and is set to be released in theaters and On Demand this weekend.

Their wildness of spirit, in both man and horse, is quickly dwarfed.

The drama about the 1969 Stonewall riots will open on September 25. Separately, Sundance Selects has acquired A Ballerina’s Tale and Gravitas Ventures has picked up Unbranded.
Roland Emmerich directed Stonewall from Jon Robin Baitz’s screenplay, which follows a fictional man caught up in the Greenwich Village riots sparked by ongoing police brutality at a mafia-run watering hole.
The riots triggered the Us Lgbt rights movement at a time when there was scant recognition of gay rights in the Us.
Jeremy Irvine and newcomer Jonny Beauchamp star alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ron Perlman.
“I was always interested and passionate about telling this important story, but I feel it has never been more timely than right now,” said Emmerich, who also produced the film.
