Exposed - TV Pilot

1939 - New York City: Rose Stern, an aspiring crime photojournalist discovers a web of corruption when a police raid on a gay club leads to her best friend being charged with murder. But telling the truth is dangerous in a city steeped in prejudice and corruption.

What People Are Saying:

Though the story of EXPOSED takes place in the 30s, many of the issues, attitudes and abuses are still occurring today here in America and around the world. Though there have been improvements to issues, and with attitudes, and abuses are no longer (at least generally) ordered by authorities, it feels as though the pendulum has begun to swing back in the wrong direction, undoing many of the more positive advances and improvement that have been made over the last century. Every day the news is full of stories of the resurgence of Nazi ideas and practices. In recent years, there are more and more instances of states within the US passing laws that begin to (or do so outright) curb what were once more accepted or at least tolerated ideas linked to and with the LGBTQ community. It is precisely that moving pendulum that makes this a more than viable candidate for progressive thinking studios, networks and television production companies.
