Hey guys.
Female-lead drama, 111 pages.
I'm an Australian writer and I want to locate this story in the US. I need a state and a town. I invented the state-less town of 'Maple' for the script.
Logline:
A Green activist struggles with her ideals when she exposes a Chinese conspiracy to dam a US Valley.
Synopsis:
Jenny-Lee Ashton's a Green activist in her 20s and the public face of Direct Action (DA), a US environment group. She's been rammed by whalers and has saved a billion trees ... but she's a shell of her former self. Her lover was violently killed in a past protest and his death has made her wary of conflict. There are rumblings that she’s past her prime. Meanwhile, across the Pacific, a Chinese company has secretly targeted a US valley for hydro dam – which Jenny-Lee uncovers. Under pressure to perform, she starts a protest against the dam and quickly finds herself at the center of a racial row and business war. When the protest turns into a riot and she's dumped by her colleagues, Jenny-Lee's forced to decide what price she's willing to pay to save the environment. As the body count climbs to four and the FBI leans on her with an 'accessory-to-murder' charge, she agrees to a wire which sends DA members to jail but saves the valley.
