The success of historical series on the black experience in the Americas like Underground has inspired PBS to create a new scripted series on the experience of blacks in colonial era Latin America. They want to showcase the resistance to oppressive slave systems so theyve asked you to write a scene to be inserted into a movie about a slave rebellion. Remember, this program is to be seen by a general audience so make sure your language is appropriate for public television though your themes should be realistic and cover all types of violence and hardships. Make sure the urgency, passion, and emotion of the historical moment come through. In this assignment you will use what you have learned on the colonial era and the slave experience to write a dialogue between a recently freed Haitian slave (H) and a slave from Curacao (C) who is organizing for rebellion. Consider the following: Be creative! You will first write a one page introduction to bring the viewer into the scene and set the stage for the events that are about to transpire. This will include not only the scene, but also a description of the characters in terms of gender, age, type of labor they perform, personality traits, etc. In the dialogue portion, characters can interrupt each other and it should be written like people speak but using the rules of grammar, punctuation, etc. (though you can spell words phonetically or use slang to convey different accents and ways of speaking in the dialogue portion). Format: 6-7 pages double spaced, 12pt. font, and 1 margins.
