As storytellers, activist screenwriters recognise that social issues make great stories that can be gut wrenching, heart tugging, funny, tragic, and interesting to watch. The Screenwriter Activist helps screenwriters tell those stories in compelling, non preachy, and inspiring ways. The Screenwriter Activist is an in depth, practical guide, appropriate for students in intermediate or graduate screenwriting courses in Film and English Programs as well as professionals who want to write a movie that can make a difference in the world. Using examples from classic and recent popular films, The Screenwriter Activist explores the motivation and sensibility a screenwriter needs to embark on a social issue project, gives techniques for choosing compelling subjects, provides historical context for social issue movies, explains how characters legitimize social issue themes, puts forward specific models for structuring advocacy screenplays, and lays out a roadmap for how screenwriters can get a social issue movie made. If you care deeply about social issues and recognise that films can be highly effective platforms for motivativng audiences to civic involvement and social action, this is the one screenwriting book you need to read.
