MASTER OF STATECRAFT

Booker T. Washington risks his reputation and his life to outmaneuver those determined to erase Black voices from democracy.

“Master of Statecraft” is a historical drama and political thriller in the tradition of “Selma,” “The Butler," and “12 Years a Slave.” The script examines Booker T. Washington’s hidden war against voter suppression in the Jim Crow South, revealing the personal cost of leadership. Grounded in true events, the story captures a rare look at how one man changed history from within the system. If my pitch piques your interest, I’d love to share the script with you.
