    • Hi frank, thank you for your interest. It states above that it is a film treatment, at the moment it's just the idea that I need feedback on. The story itself is not yet available.

    • Sounds like it could make an Afro-Caribbean drama, focusing on a subject that has not really been covered in films. But an idea is an idea. Would have to see the script first.
