The Wounded Dove Documentary

They're audacious risk takers, defiant, zealous, some are fearless, most are tough and they all have one thing in common.................... they are peacemakers. The Wounded Dove will be a 5 X 1 hour documentary series chronicling the lives of the world’s great peacemakers from the early nineteen hundreds to the present time. Most peacemakers were a pain in the ass to the establishment and some played by the rules in their quest to put an end to conflicts or to prevent them. Many of our peacemakers are ordinary citizens who assumed heroic stature and directly influenced the flow of historic events even when they appeared to be overwhelmingly unalterable.
There have been 72 formal treaties, 20 pacts, numerous agreements, alliances, conferences and cease-fires over the past one hundred years. Without peacemakers these achievements would not have been possible.
Structure
Narrated by a Hollywood/TV superstar each episode begins with original theme music composed by international music star Gino Vannelli played over a montage of film footage showing the social/cultural trends and pivotal events of the era, quickly placing the viewer in the context of the times. The tone is factual and the material is presented in a journalistic, anecdotal, entertaining style. There will be no talking heads in this fast paced series. The peacemakers will tell their own stories via archive footage, recreations, sound bites, diary excerpts and illustrations. Each episode features up to fifteen peacemaker reportages. The stories are told under themes rather than chronologically.
Episode 1 The Whistle Blowers
Episode 2 Subversive Peacemakers
Episode 3 Gunboat Diplomats
Episode 4 Dying For Peace
Episode 5 Young Blood
A brief introduction to the stories stresses the importance of examining conflicts from the point of view of "peace endeavors" rather than listing the chain of events that inexorably plunged people into war. Each war, revolution or instance of internal strife will begin with a graphic presentation of the dynamics of the conflict. This orientation quickly identifies the antagonists and issues. We then introduce our peacemaker and follow this individual as he or she struggles to stop the violence.
The Wounded Dove looks not at those who waged war, but at those who tried to revive and nurture the phoenix of peace.
