This script and story is artistically based on the life of Robert Smalls. The script is a completed work available in Final Draft format as well as text for optioning, reviewing, and/or purchase. Please email with any inquiries. I implore you to take a glimpse into the life of this great man. There are a wealth of stories within his life which should be told and re-told in multiple media formats, as well as passed down through the generations. For adequate historical reference beyond the world-wide web, I suggest that you pick up a copy of Gullah Statesman - Robert Smalls from Slavery to Congress - 1839-1915 by Ed Miller in paperback. Available for purchase here:

His story will take you on an adventure off the beaten path of more well-known history. While this work is a speculative fiction, I have taken great pains to highlight the historical truth by adding story-lines to heighten the experience and dramatize actual events. I hope it inspires you! It certainly is an inspiring story to me! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Matthew Phillip Lazin
