I’m creating a new script and need help to not blur the line

I want to build on a solider basically destabilizing a global regime without getting to literally into realistic scenarios of terrorism that will keep it from getting picked up. Any suggestions or tips?

Logline: In a future where world hunger, crime, and debt have been eradicated under a single global regime, a forgotten soldier discovers he was engineered as part of a covert experiment—one of the hidden Children of Chaos, designed to awaken and unravel utopia from within.

Interesting concept, Cortez Saulsberry! Maybe hint at the terrorist scenes instead of showing them. And since it's the future, maybe come up with a different way of terrorism so producers/etc. aren't scared away from your script because of modern terrorism.

Okay that sounds like a plan since it’s sure a volitie subject Maurice Vaughan

Hi! I don't understand the idea behind this script. Is it about fighting against someone else's will and authority over oneself? In that case, you need a clear antagonist for the protagonist to fight against. Or is it about the protagonist fighting against a system that hides a terrible secret and is not perfect but rather flawed and cruel? I don't understand your script idea.

The protagonist is undoing everything the regime built by using him. It’s flawed because it’s built off a false narrative of peace and he feels used and tossed aside so he’s looking for purpose again because war is all he knows Arthur Charpentier
