Hello Boaz Asaasira & Mabasso Jr.!

I'm moved.

When this title appeared, I was sure to read it one time. My neighbor is coming from Liberia. He flew in the nineties from a "similar" situation as Uganda. Sometimes we are sitting all night long thinking about the African situation.

Just by reading the title I knew this screenplay will be made. It's simply necessary.

As I went to IMDB, watching if your title is blocked, I saw you're already in pre-production. And that's more than great.

The screenplay itself isn't perfectly polished. But you know: It doesn't have to be. It's too meaningful. It succeeds in every way. There's a need. Finally it opens the eyes what a screenplay could stand for, what's in our authors' hands'.

I recommend everyone around here to take a look at this script. At latest by page 20 this thing gathers a momentum where you can't hide as a human. Please read over the format and writing issues, it is worth it.

For me, the story is phenomenal.

A few points, just if you're still in development. Rick hiding his I pod is unbelievable. Page 32 is heavy. There you go too far. I think you know what I mean. And I guess that's forbidden. And finally, I think you should have a fade over black in the end where you describe the situation as real. Because it is. Names like Joseph Kony and numbers of victims could build a better connection to this reality. It's no fiction. IMO it deserves to be clearer in the end.


What a script. I am speechless.

Men, you brought important things onto paper. It was at thrill for my heart.

Thank you very much for sharing such a meaningful piece. It's terrific.

Best of luck
