HBO Documentary Films Acquires Worldwide TV And Streaming Rights To THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH

An Intimate Documentary About The Power Of Friendship Featuring Emma Fogarty And Colin Farrell

HBO Documentary Films has acquired worldwide TV and streaming rights to THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH, directed by Rachel Fleit (HBO Max's "Bama Rush"). The documentary will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max globally, including in the UK and Ireland, later this year. The film will have its world premiere at the 2026 Dublin International Film Festival.

Synopsis: Emma Fogarty lives with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) - a rare and extremely painful genetic condition that leaves her skin so fragile it blisters and tears at the slightest touch. As she turns 40, the age doctors predicted she would never reach, she takes up an offer from her long-time friend, Colin Farrell, to complete the Dublin Marathon together, with Farrell pushing her wheelchair for the final few miles. THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH follows their lives and the enduring friendship that has sustained them through the years.

Rachel Fleit, quote: "Making this film brought me back, over and over, to what I think matters most in life: love, care, community, and the friendships that carry us. It was an honor to bear witness to the extraordinary bond between Emma and Colin, and I'm deeply grateful to HBO Documentary Films for helping bring this story, and its message, to audiences around the world."

Colin Farrell, quote: "I can't think of THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH as a film, certainly not like any film I've ever been a part of before. For me, it's simply a collage of home videos, moments in time that we all shared during its making. Whatever the film is, whatever people may find it to be, we're so grateful that our adventure, our friendships, and our shared love for each other has found a home on HBO."

Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH, a Fine Point Films and Chapel Place Productions, in association with The Kennedy/Marshall Company, Original Films, Deshe Capital LLC, The deNovo Initiative, Union Editorial, Northern Ireland Screen and Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland. Directed and produced by Rachel Fleit; produced by Claudine Farrell, Colin Farrell, Trevor Birney, Eimhear O'Neill, and Frank Marshall; executive produced by Aly Parker, Tony Rosenthal, Alexandra Bowen, Ori Eisen, Michael Raimondi, Katherine LeBlond, and the Deshe Family; executive produced Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, Niamh Fagan; co-executive produced by Dawn Bonder, Daniel J. Chalfen, and Marci Wiseman.
