I think you could've --perhaps-- added some juice in the logline. It's an interesting piece of history but it does not have a personal story in this logline.

Thanks for the feedback, Pattana. I've really struggled with crafting the logline since there's no central character to give it that personal touch. I'll keep plugging away at it though.

I admit nowadays we dramatize the true story too much. My script has became so It’s a historical story but I have to add drama because the industry people ask for three act outline and “conflict”.
