Synopsis:
In 1972—before the internet, before the adult film explosion—Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted adult theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace, she became an international sensation—less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio.  After struggling to break free from Traynor whose endless abuse nearly killed her, Linda made it her life’s mission to fight violence against women.

LOVELACE was directed by the filmmaking team of Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (Howl, The Celluloid Closet) from a screenplay by Andy Bellin (Trust). The film was produced by Heidi Jo Markel for Eclectic Pictures, Laura Rister and Jason Weinberg for Untitled Entertainment, and Jim Young for Animus Films, with executive producers Boaz Davidson, Danny Dimbort, Mark Gill, Merritt Johnson, Avi Lerner, Trevor Short and John Thompson for Nu Image/Millennium Films.  LOVELACE was made with the cooperation of the estate of Linda Lovelace.

LOVELACE has a running time of 93 minutes and is rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language, drug use and some domestic violence.
