'Viper Club' trailer: Susan Sarandon plays mother on quest to free captive son in this YouTube Original

Susan Sarandon surmounts all odds to rescue her journalist son from the clutches of terrorism in the YouTube Original 'Viper Club'

Actor and activist Susan Sarandon, who has been in the center of many humanitarian movements and never backed down from voicing her opinion, will now play a mother trying to rescue her son kidnapped by a group of terrorists, in an upcoming YouTube Originals film. While YouTube has mostly stuck to creating documentaries such as 'A Certain Kind of Death', 'Viper Club' is the first film to push the video-sharing website's boundaries with a theatrical release. 

Helmed by American-Iranian director Maryam Keshavarz, 'Viper Club' is the second feature which follows Keshavarz's ongoing efforts, that received due appreciation in her Iranian coming-of-age drama 'Circumstance'. This movie, co-written by Jonathan Mastro (who collaborates regularly with Paolo Marinou-Blanco in Keshavarz's production company MaraKesh Films), will be distributed theatrically by Roadside Attractions.
