This sounds interesting!
Best wishes with your entry!
Great characterization,…
Great characterization, intelligent juxtaposition of the different issues going on in 1964.
Well Written
Powerful opening scene, surprise cut to Moscow, Russia and with a black African American on a stage (in 1962) and you have my attention.
Rich characters in the historical story
Lots of interesting characters and a great story.
Really fascinating true story
This is a vividly told story that I would love to see on screen. The characters, setting, and insights into the political landscape of the 60's are well-drawn, and give context to a compelling history. Well done!
