An allegory about the legacy of slavery on the African American psyche and one

and her young daughter fight to escape, but can you ever win against the enemy
within?

Great idea. I'd watch this. It'd be a pretty difficult tight-rope walk to write, handling the delicate subject matter with the children of the story and all. The synopsis shouldn't be used to explain themes and symbolism though - let your audience piece it together for themselves. The Logline could use a little more elaboration though - How does a little girl overpower an adult woman? Is she super-human? Just extra-aggressive?

An intriguing logline.. Should the synopsis have more detail? I'm asking not telling.
