Aloe Blacc Acquires Rights to The U Boat

Los Angeles, CA - [November 6, 2025] - Grammy-nominated artist, songwriter, producer, and activist Aloe Blacc has officially acquired the rights to The U Boat, a groundbreaking true-crime project that dives deep into the dark waters of government oversight, pharmaceutical power, and corporate deception.

The U Boat uncovers how far billion-dollar drug companies are willing to go to protect their profits-and how the government agencies meant to regulate them often become part of the machinery they're supposed to control. Through gripping real-world accounts and newly unearthed evidence, the project exposes the thin line between compliance and complicity.

"In the war between law and profit, morality is the first man overboard," said Aloe Blacc, who will serve as producer and creative visionary for the project. "This story reveals what happens when those sworn to protect the public instead protect the profit. It's a true story-but one that feels almost too extraordinary to believe."

Known for global hits like "Wake Me Up" and "The Man," Blacc has built a reputation for artistry rooted in truth and social impact. On his latest album, Stand Together, Blacc paired each new track with a nonprofit organization, furthering his mission to elevate community, contribution and unity. Outside of his music, Blacc is also the founder and CEO of a biotech firm - Major, Inc. - to create a new approach to viral infections.

With The U Boat, Blacc brings that same conviction to the screen-merging investigative storytelling, cinematic realism, and moral urgency to confront one of the most consequential cover-ups of our time.

Currently in early development, The U Boat promises to blend the depth of investigative journalism with the emotional intensity of prestige cinema. The project will explore how decisions made in boardrooms and regulatory halls ripple into hospitals, homes, and communities worldwide.

Further details about production partners, creative collaborators, and release plans will be announced in the coming months.
