A Man In A Hero's Journey Across A River

JAMES WESTWOOD, 30, with a crew of two men crosses a river on a raft. Once on the other side, James leaves the raft and within seconds quietly disappears in the depth of the jungle.
Soon James sees the contours of the camp wall. Suddenly, a blinding searchlight turns the area into an open bright arena. He falls on the ground and quickly rolls behind the nearest fern.
JAMES WESTWOOD
Shit!
James looks at his watch, closes his eyes and listens. A quickly approaching sound of hooves. He raises his head and sees a wild boar running straight towards him.
MAN IN A TOWER
(shouting and laughing)
Look! Look! Dinner is running.
A machine gun shoots. The sound of bullets flying above James’s head. Boar heavily hits the ground ten yards away.
MAN IN A TOWER (CONT’D)
Excellent hunting!
A small gate opens in the wall and three armed men walk out and head towards the prey. They walk laughing, sharing a bottle of hard liquor. The three men advance almost a hundred yards, when a powerful explosion blows them into pieces.
James dives into a pit. Series of powerful explosions thunder in the jungle behind him closer to the
river.
PIRATES’ VOICES
There! By the river!
A group of armed men run out the gate and tear along to the sounds of explosions and gunshots, engaging in a cross fire with James’s crew.
