A movie that was partially filmed in Gainesville in April 2025 has made its debut.
“Clean Hands” is based on a true story and focuses on former narcotics detective Kevin Simmers, who is played by Zach Braff, and how he deals with the loss of his daughter, played by Esther McGregor, to drugs and the founding of a recovery home in her name for women struggling with addiction.
Several Gainesville police officers served as extras for some scenes filmed here. Set in Hagerstown, Maryland, filming also took place in Hagerstown and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
It was released in select theaters and some streaming platforms earlier this month.
