A Tale of Lust, Love and Deceit, Xenon Pictures Presents MI VERDAD, the Complete, Uncut and Uncensored Version Now Available for the First Time on DVD

'Full of revelations, sex and treason.' - TVyNovelas

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Xenon Pictures, Inc., presents the controversial and sexually charged MI VERDAD, the story of the love affair between telenovela producer Juan Osorio and voluptuous Cuban dancer Niurka Marcos, which resulted in one of the biggest scandals in the history of Latin American entertainment. Available for the first time, this is the original director's cut of the film, considered unsuitable for broadcast on public television. (For photos and information please visit http://www.xenonpictures.com/ or http://www.marcellapr.com/).

Raul Araiza ("Tres mujeres") and up-and-comer Liz Vega star, respectively, as the great impresario and his tempestuous Cuban lover in this vivid tale of love, lust and deceit, written and produced by Mr. Osorio himself. With a Mexican Nielsen rating of 26+ (surpassing that of the Superbowl), this superb dramatization of the Osorio/Marcos scandal has been a flashpoint of media attention on both sides of the Rio Grande.

The DVD debut of this controversial and steamy film follows the release of the mega-hit telenovelas AMOR REAL and RUBI on DVD. Other titles now available include: LA USURPADORA (starring Gabriela Spanic, Fernando Colunga and Libertad Lamarque); NINA...AMADA MIA (starring Karyme Lozano and Sergio Goyri); EL MANANTIAL (starring Adela Noriega and Mauricio Islas); ABRAZAME MUY FUERTE (starring Aracely Arambula, Fernando Colunga, Victoria Ruffo and Cesar Evora); and JUAN PABLO II: TESTIGO DE ESPERANZA (John Paul II: Witness to Hope).

Xenon Pictures has also announced their upcoming DVD release of ROSALINDA, the hit telenovela starring world-renowned Pop Diva and actress THALIA, as well as the classic Mexican epic LA ANTORCHA ENCENDIDA, the story of the struggle for Mexico's Independence. More information will be forthcoming.

Xenon Pictures is offering MI VERDAD on DVD in full screen format at $19.99 (2005; feature run time: 120 minutes; Spanish language; rated TV-14). Now available through most major retail and online stores.
