Stop The Insanity Finding Susan Powter

The new documentary about Susan Powter the ’90s pop culture icon who burst onto the scene with her signature bleach-blonde buzz cut & bold health message will be released on all major VOD platforms December 9th. After conquering infomercials, becoming a New York Times bestselling author, hosting her own talk show & seeing her face on thousands of products Powter dramatically walked away from Hollywood & into obscurity. Crippling lawsuits with her business partners left her bankrupt & she lived as a total recluse below the poverty line in Las Vegas where filmmaker Zeberiah Newman ultimately found her. “Stop The Insanity: Finding Susan Powter Will” explores Powter's rise & fall while asking what it will take to bring her back to audiences & whether her message “Stop The Insanity” is still as relevant & powerful today as it was in the early ’90s. Director Zeberiah Newman stated, “Telling Susan’s story has been the most challenging & rewarding experience of my career. It forced me to cut through years of tabloid mythology & see her as she truly is: a survivor, a truth-teller & a woman whose voice still matters in a culture that so often erases those who refuse to conform. This film is not a biopic—it is a meditation on resilience, fame & the fight to hold onto your power when the world tries to take it away.” The film features Executive Producer Jamie Lee Curtis, Ross Mathews & Powter. What emerges from “Stop The Insanity: Finding Susan Powter Will” is not just a portrait of Powter’s strength but a searing reflection of the urgent crises reshaping our country today. WATCH TRAILER
