British distributors Channel 4 have revealed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray acclaimed director Mike Leigh's Secrets & Lies (1996), starring Timothy Spall, Brenda Blethyn, and Phyllis Logan. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is February 23.

Synopsis: Mike Leigh's widely acclaimed film, winner of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Picture, is a poignant, heartwarming drama that's as wildly funny as it is moving. After her adoptive parents die, a young black woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) seeks out her natural birth mother only to discover her mother is white. Equally shocked to learn the daughter she gave up for adoption is black, Cynthia (Brenda Blethyn - 1996 Golden Globe Winner, Best Actress, drama) insists it's a mistake. But she soon realizes it's true and when she springs her newfound daughter on the rest of the family, the resulting chaos leads to a series of secrets and lies being revealed at last.
