Okay, “Game of Thrones”.? And what precipitates and drives? the story line?? A civil war, adults engaged in a never, ever-ending struggle for power. Oh, how trite, how banal!? And it also happens to be an age old, universal conflict.
The dramatic premise of “Game of Thrones” was, indeed, pre-sold as a successful book anthology so I acknowledge the apples and oranges analogy in that respect.?

I also think that AIDS ought to be in logline as well as the time frame as South Africa is now in the post-apartheid era.? And finally, that it’s based on real events to give the premise more credibility. So
Based on real events, in 1984, an anti-apartheid activist with AIDS must come out of the closet to get the ANC to support a Constitutional? ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation.

I used ANC instead of “his political party”.? If the story is being pitched to South African movie makers, they will know what it refers to.
