NARRATOR

Once upon a time, there was a guy

named Alex Robertson. He was a British boy, born on the 9th of April of 1970. Now it is 1988, and Great Britain is in a dictatorship under the power of Salomondrin the Great. There is a caos all across Britain, but mostly in London; there is an index of robbery above the 40% in the most dangerous neighborhoods, the economy is in its baddest times in history, the mortality rate is growing, and more than the 35% percent of the population is in a condition of poverty or extreme poverty. Everything is messed up, no one is safe in the streets, and the regime of Salomondrin wouldn't end in a near future. The people do not know what to do, and everyone is worried about something that could be very impacting to the country and it is that , due to the situation, there is going to be a massive revolt against the dictator in two weeks, and everyone in town is talking about it. In the other hand, Alex, is from a family that is a very rich family, and is one of the fewest of London to be that wealthy.

2. EXT.NOON.STREETS

The scene is located in the streets of London. It needs to be in a residential place with some pedestrians. It is 6:00 PM so it is getting dark.

Alex went to go for a walk around his neighborhood alone.

​

NARRATOR

Alex was a very kind person with the

people; compared to his father, he cared about the poor people and didn't agree with what the dictator said. He was a very studious person, that liked the politics and the art, and he always said that if he could, he would change and take his country out of their situation, with the use of art. That was his most desired wish, because he knew that because of the family he was from, he couldn't protest against the dictator.

One day, after school ended, he went for a walk around the neighborhood because he hated to stay in his house but knew the threats that were in the streets, nd the insecurity of London in the time. Either way, he liked to walk by himself, and admired a busy day in the capital, and capture moments so that he could obtain ideas to paint on his canvas. He did that, almost every day after school, and returned before the sunset at 7:00 PM.

ALEX
I hate this regime, what does Mr.

Salomondrin is thiking! If only there was something I could do...(talking to himself)

 

Alex is taking photos of the streets and the people in their every day life.

 

ALEX

What if, I could rise and create my own group against the Dictator and impone the new order? that's my imposible desire, because no one will hear me and my family would be ashamed of me, unless... I went to the suburbs and convince the people to help me...

 

that night Alex didn't go back to his house and his parents were very worried.

"A" in the front came out. The one in the front, that was the leader, took of the mask... and everyone recognized him...

"We are here now, and we are coming

for you Mr. Salomondrin".
