When a TV program is set to launch an expose on a commune, a member who sought refuge in the group because his grandfather’s murder was instigated by the media, devices a plan to sabotage the TV network and protect his identity.
As Foxtrot25 said.As far as I can understand the story, the protagonist's action line seems rather weak. ?Job #1 for a protagonist is to be proactive. ? But in this scenario, as far as I can tell, he's more reactive than proactive. Others drive him and the story when he should be in the driver's seaRead more

But in this scenario, as far as I can tell, he’s more reactive than proactive. Others drive him and the story when he should be in the driver’s seat, driving the story himself.
And ?”sabotage” only amounts to him trying to talk the leadership out of letting the TV crew on the ground? ?That’s weak tea for an action line.

And what reprehensible deed has the network committed to justify the sabotage in the eyes of the audience, especially if the commune is ripe with scandal that needs to be exposed? ? Again, why would the audience be on his side? ?It may be inconvenient to him but I don’t see how the network is to blame for wanting to do an expose on the commune that coincidentally puts him back in the spotlight. ?IOW: ?I don’t see how his behavior is morally justified because he seems to be a collateral victim, not the intentional victim of the expose.
