Is He Safe?

Robert James Salisbury’s screenplay “Is He Safe” is one of the shorts in the season that I enjoyed reading. It is deep and has a straight connection to parents like me, who have a special child. The story is about a father and son who try to go camping in the mountains. Sam would go to any length for his son Jimmy in order to provide him with the love and attention he requires. In the course of their outing, an unforeseen circumstance happens and they are stranded in the wild. To survive, Sam will do everything for Jimmy so that he will be safe from the hungry monster. This screenplay made me cry. I have seen the sacrifice of a parent to their child who has special needs. It shows that the love of a father or mother is endless. We see children or people with special needs as something different, but this piece will teach us that they are just the same as everyone; we just need to accept them and show them that they belong. I salute Robert James for having the courage to write an extraordinary screenplay, a work that will open the eyes of many people.
