Michael Angarano in "The Bondage"

"Michael Angarano (Sky High, Lords of Dogtown, Snow Angels, Forbidden Kingdom) stars as Charlie Douglas, whose story is based on the true life events of writer/director Eric Allen Bell. Charlie's mother (Illeana Douglas) and brother (Evan Ellingson) watch helplessly as his antics give him a ticket to Juvenile Hall. Mae Whitman plays Angelica, a kindred spirit he meets while waiting to be locked up and Griffin Dunne is the psychiatrist assigned to counsel Charlie.
The film is both a scathing commentary on the juvenile justice system as well as an indictment of the psychopharmacology industry. But it's also a tender coming-of-age story and a tale of romance and survival.

Now an effort on the part of devoted fans of Angarano has resulted in a new, unofficial website for the film at
thebondagemovie.com

The creator of the site hopes to inspire some movement on the part of those who own the film's rights to settle the various legal and financial disputes which are holding up the release of The Bondage.

I've been trying to get a response from the owners of The Bondage. and I've had no response from the main owners of this film. I can tell you this film is Michael's greatest performance also different to what we are use to seeing him do. It's important that visitors to this site leave a message. We must get this film released. They are not holding this back because the film is not worth watching, it's for different reasons. Read the site carefully and you will know what I mean.
Thanks from U.K.
