| Title: | THEMBI |
| Logline: | Haunted by her experiences in Afghanistan, a young American soldier finds hope and salvation when she joins a small band of veterans fighting the war against illegal ivory poaching in South Africa. |
| Pitch: | THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS meets AMERICAN SNIPER |
| Writer: | Tom Glasson |
| Genre: | Action | Drama |
| Why to Read: | Telling a conservationist tale without ever being preachy, this script grounds its cinematic action adventure in strong character work and a moving personal journey. The dialogue is dynamic and engaging, with what characters find themselves unable to say carrying as much weight as the things they do say. The characters come across as real people, and the female protagonist does not fall into any of the stereotypes that plague depictions of strong women in film. This is a heartfelt story that sheds light on real world issues that have real world consequences. |
