No screenwriter wants to discover after the fact that their script leans on stereotypes or normalizes expressions of systemic racism. Fuller provides writers with tools they can use to hold themselves to a higher standard. Outdated tropes can sneak in at any point in the writing process, from adaptation to plot, to characterization, setting, symbolism, and genre. Fuller shows writers how to diagnose and address those problems in their own writing, creating stronger scripts in the process.
