The most incredible part of this entire read is that I couldn’t go to bed until I finished it. From the way Zizos character plays calm and collected to the dynamic and fragility of the bullet being pulled. Move aside Blood Diamond. Something like Molasses will be an international blockbuster.

I would like both films to be made The road to Peking and THIS ONE I THINK THEY BOTH WOULD DO WELL.

I’m a writer but before that i’m a watcher and reader who’s naturally attracted to uniqueness… everything about this screenplay seems like it’s the real deal… i hope this movie wins the vote because i’d really love to see it alive on screen! 
Thanks for the writer and Kinolime👏🏻
I found it to be a beautiful script and story. Great great work! Congratulations. On a practical note, I would personally refrain from using so many "BEAT"s, I bet it would save a good couple of pages and as much as I understand their need to set the pacing of the story, I felt like it was to much. Other than that, stunning work here!
I finished reading this screenplay 2 days ago and have some questions about what I feel are loose ends. I understand and am fine with a story implying what happens in the end instead of showing it, but it seems like this one had too many plot points left hanging.
Grandpa Don implies that Moss is still alive. Is he captive? Hiding?
Zizo is running to the address that is in the book Moss left her a long time ago. I think he said it was a safe place for her to hide. Is Moss there or are the diamonds there or both?
Asa is running home where his mom just left. Now he will be alone, scared and confused about if his dad is alive.
Is Grandpa Don trying to flush out Moss by letting Asa go with the idea his dad is alive?
Thoughts?
