A Company Soars
...the script...?
by Ramya Jegatheesan

The Sacrifice Zone is a story about living in a dying place, where the birds are silent and industry devours and poisons the land. 

It is the story of a tragedy. It is a tale of David versus Goliath. 

You’ve heard this story before, maybe seen it in one too many headlines: Deadly explosion rocks industrial town. Workers killed. 

The Sacrifice Zone begins in the aftermath of this industrial disaster. Two grief-stricken widowers search for answers and justice. The corporation, and many in town, want them to take the money and be quiet. Questions are inconvenient when there is big money to be made.
