I am the author of a haunting, remarkable, and inspiring memoir titled FRIENDSHIP: A True Story of Adventure, Goodwill, and Endurance.
My memoir book is currently under adaptation to screenplay.
I strongly believe my screenplay - DIAMOND DREAMS - has real potential at the worldwide marketplace because of the following facts;
1.) my story is a - prequel - to the Hollywood BLOOD DIAMOND movie story and like the movie, my story is also a true story and therefore my story already has a solid audience in the waiting.
2.) because these are challenging and trying times in America; morale is bottom low, intolerance, and divisiveness are high.
3.) Americans of goodwill and righteous people from all stripes, race, and colors are yearning for inspiring and spirit-lifting drama-driven feature films that would inspire, uplift the human spirit, and restore faith and dignity in humanity.
4.) people of goodwill and righteous people are yearning for humane films that would confront and reject the intolerance and divisive mentality and attitudes that are undermining the fabric of our our unique American diversity.
5.) my screenplay will restore America's global image and reputation as a kind and generous people, and country, towards other peoples as evidence (d) by my life-changing friendship with a White man who rose above race, and intolerance, when he met me in Sierra Leone in 1976, and when he befriended me, and how out of his own goodwill, kindness, and generosity he transformed my life from abuse and poverty in Africa, to freedom and opportunity in America.
I believe my story / screenplay is timely in America and relevant in today's American society because of the ongoing issues of intolerance and divisiveness in the country that are currently trending in the news media.
My screenplay will have a much broader appeal to others beyond my fellow Christians and the Hollywood Blood Diamond fans. My screenplay will appeal to people who like stories about the power of human spirit to overcome adversity, to travel enthusiasts, to adventurers, people interested in other peoples cultures and to civil rights advocates, people working for racial justice and equality.
