Aha Moment

There are 2 treatments floating around Hollywood that deserve attention. One is about Wolfman Jack, and the other is about 3 Mexican Campesinos who were tortured by ranchers as they crossed into the U.S. I can't get either story out of my head and I'd be pleased to be associated with either one.
If any of your listeners think they have a book in them, then put everything else aside and start typing!
