Screenwriting : Turbulence :Dispatches from the Student Protest Movement Rutgers 1970 by Lewis Ritter

I submitted my pilot script, Turbulence, to the Period Piece contest. The Seventies came roaring back to life as six college students struggled with the political and social movements of an era that would change America forever. Danny Watkins is an idealistic journalist working for the college newspaper. When fired from the paper, he risks being forced to leave school and get drafted into the unpopular Vietnam War. To save his career, he risks everything to bring the controversial activist Abbie Hoffman to the campus. I have turned this script into the first of a series of novels about the era.
