Completely unforgettable. This historical incident SHOULD be the next MAJOR DISASTER STORY MOVIE BLOCKBUSTER: Reasons why: * It occurred during wartime. * It was true. * It was an international incident..therefore it will have great international appeal * The relief effort involved at least 4 countries. * There was serious drama: - People gave up their lives heroically, to save others - The legal inquiry afterwards was drama laden. * There are several personal stories/ eye-wittness accounts that are followed through the story. * Nova Scotia was a place to which migrated many LOYALISTS - persons loyal to the English King - the loosing side- during the American (USA) revolution. An under-told part of US history. * * The film industry now has the technical ability to do a great job with computers, etc.STEVEN SPIELBERG, GEORGE LUCAS, RON HOWARD, where are you? !!
