Silverlining Rights acquires global rights to 9Network’s "Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson"

Silverlining Rights has acquired global distribution rights from Australia’s 9Network to the new documentary "Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson," which tells the real story behind the hit Netflix drama "Apple Cider Vinegar." Let's now go over what the title is about.

"Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson" (1x60’) tells the story of the 26-year-old Australian who became a worldwide sensation after claiming to have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and curing herself with a healthy-eating plan. She developed the world’s first wellness app, secured a book deal with Penguin, was backed by Apple, and earned millions through her social media business. But it was all a lie. She was a hoax, deceiving many real cancer sufferers into believing that false treatments could save their lives.

Through in-depth interviews and never-before-seen footage of her notorious 60 Minutes interview with Tara Brown, "Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson" dissects the story that made headlines around the world, explores the persuasive power of social media in our lives, and questions whether Belle Gibson was ever truly sorry.

Bethan Corney, founder and MD of Silverlining, referred to the original title: '"Apple Cider Vinegar´ has been a hit for Netflix around the world. We know that whenever there’s a big drama based on true events, viewers are hungry for more—especially the real-life story behind the dramatization. We’re thrilled to be picking up the rights to "Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson" from Nine and rolling it out to international buyers looking to capitalize on the global audience interest in the story," commented.

FInally, Kirsty Thomson, 60 Minutes Australia Executive Producer, expressed satisfaction with the partnership: 'We are delighted to partner with Silverlining for the release of "Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson." The explosive special features snippets of never-before-seen footage from Tara Brown's now infamous 60 Minutes Australia interview—something only 9Network can deliver," stated.
