FEATURE – DRAMA/DIVERSITY - #104 PAGES


LOGLINE: In Galveston, Texas, the last day of slavery in America is beset with startling gloom, as the wickedness of rape and death pays its final visit to a slave master’s plantation.

SYNOPSIS: On a sweltering, tranquil day, June 19, 1865, the last day of slavery, CHET LEGREE, the most despicable slave master in Galveston, Texas, wields a shotgun as he drags his slave BERTHA KEMET into a seamy fishing shed. Subsequently, as Legree completes his rape of Bertha on a small cot, he becomes startled and frightened as Bertha’s slave husband, JOSHUA, bursts frantically through the door. While frozen in a state of terror, Legree spins around, fires a blast from his shotgun, which strike Joshua killing him instantly.

Now encased in an uncontrollable rage, Bertha, a screaming widow, physically attacks LEGREE from behind. Legree whirls around in a crazed frenzy and accidentally shoots Bertha striking her in the chest. As Bertha lay on the cot bleeding profusely and gasping for air; her lazy eyes gazes up helplessly at Legree. Sadly Bertha manages to point her limped finger at Legree and weakly mumbles a financial curse which she deems will eventually topple all wealthy, male descendants of slave masters.

Consequently, after sixty-four-years of financial solvency, alas, many of America’s most affluent sons of slave masters become woefully deranged, as slave Bertha Kemet’s prophesied curse explodes into a debilitating reality: “the 1929 Stock Market becomes the first of many national catastrophes.
