Confessional

A video in the style of a somber PSA. We see a man in a black suit, a HOST.

HOST
You've heard the stories. You've seen the footage. And it's true. We are out there. Everyday, our suffering is ignored by those around us.

CUT TO shot of destitute WOMAN on street, reaching out for help.

CUT TO HOST.

HOST
That's right. And up until now, maybe you've wondered what you could do to help.

CUT TO a CITIZEN guiltily evading a poor-diseased MAN. He then looks back at the man and frowns thoughtfully.

Back to HOST.

HOST
Who are we? We're people who have to live with the fact that, everyday, we live in a world where the movie Space Cowboys exists.

CUT TO several homeless looking people, stumbling and laying around an outdoor fountain.

Back to HOST.

HOST
Well, it's time to start giving today. For as little as 25 cents a day, you can help support, nurture and care for a lonely soul afflicted by the bleak reality that is the movie Space Cowboys.

CUT TO some young children crying by a fire. It pauses. The camera zooms out and we see that the HOST is watching this scene on a television. He holds a remote in his hand.

HOST
I don't know about you, but I'm not going to go on watching. But I'm also not going to stop looking at the eyes in this freezeframe. Little young sad eyes. Eyes that say "help me!" "Help me I'm bleeding in my soul!"We hope you have the courage to do the right thing. Give today. Because Space Cowboys may have come and gone. But the risk has never been larger for Space Cowboys 2: Back in the Saddlejet.

INSERT: a hotline number and details appear on the screen.

ANNOUNCER
Call today! Operator are standing by!

END.
