Magnolia Pictures and Participant have bought North American rights to 'The Grab,' a new documentary from 'Blackfish' director Gabriela Cowperthwaite

“We’re thrilled to reunite with our good friends at Participant and the great Gabriela Cowperthwaite who has, yet again, brought to light a nail biting, explosive, and essential story,” said Magnolia Pictures co-CEO’s Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley. Variety ’s Peter Debruge praised the film after its TIFF debut: “Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s astonishing, eye-opening doc hits us with the idea that the next world war won’t be fought over ideology, oil or border disputes, but basic resources like meat, wheat and water, none of which should be taken for granted.” “The Grab” is produced by Center for Investigative Reporting Studios and Rocklin|Faust, Nathan Halverson, Amanda Pike, Blye Pagon Faust, Nicole Rocklin, and Gabriela Cowperthwaite, and presented by Impact Partners.
