The Screenwriter Activist: A Practical Guide to Tackling Social Issues in Film. Some of the most impactful films ever made have addressed real-world social issues, from genocide to homophobia to corporate greed. These stories can be both gut-wrenching and thought-provoking, making them compelling subjects for screenwriters. This book provides a practical guide for writers who want to tell these stories in inspiring ways. It explores the motivation and sensibility needed to embark on a social issue project, offers techniques for choosing compelling subjects, and explains how characters can legitimize social issue themes. The author also presents specific models for structuring advocacy screenplays and outlines a roadmap for getting a social issue movie made.
