Duty of Care, feature film -manuscript, 1997

A Canadian living in Africa begins to starve her own child as a protest of Third World neglect, documenting the process in a series of video tapes.  Reporter Alicia Torrens is sympathetic to the other woman's cause, but as stunned as everybody else by her means of dramatizing it.  Could someone really be doing this?  Should someone be?  And even before getting to questions like those, there are more practical ones that have to be addressed: Where exactly is all of this going on?  Who is the woman?  Is the child really getting as sick as it appears?  Why has Alicia herself been granted a precious few steps' head start, against the media frenzy destined to descend?  For Alicia, the answers to these questions bring a deeper entanglement in familiar issues, and a refreshing reminder of the delight of individual human contact -- and for the audience, a glimpse of worlds all too often unseen.
