Screenwriter Jeanne Veillette Bowerman and Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Douglas A. Blackmon discuss their adaptation of Slavery By Another Name for the screen. Douglas shares why he was compelled to write the book and why it went from a two year to a seven year project. Jeanne shares how she convinced Douglas she was the one to adapt the book, how they have been able to collaborate from different parts of the country and how the Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab was pivotal in completing the screenplay.
