Short: It’s 1993, and high school English teacher Charles Marlow, (Ashley Zukerman) has spent decades shrinking from life, hiding away from the disappointments that have trailed him. When his student/protegé Romy (Aishe Keita) proposes a photojournalism project documenting collaborations between autistic youth and senior dementia patients, Charles tailspins into his past, through a series of interlocking timelines, confronting the errors of his youth. In a 1962 Seattle classroom, young Charles (Elliott Smith) befriends an autistic child, Dana (Lincoln Lambert), with shocking consequences. In the 1980s, Charles and his wife Alison (Sarah Shahi) struggle to comprehend their own child’s autism, resulting in the destruction of their marriage. Now, as his student confronts, head-on, the challenges of working with neuro-diverse individuals, Charles determines to deal with his haunting failures. Awkwardly, with many revisions, he sets about repairing his own story. Inspired by his student’s art, Charles learns to see the world around him anew, make peace with the errors of the past, and incorporate new ways of listening and connecting with the people he loves.

  • American Exceptionalism in Television Spy Dramas: Mainstreaming America with I Spy, Sleeper Cell, and 24?
    AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM IN TELEVISION SPY DRAMAS: MAINSTREAMING AMERICA WITH I SPY, SLEEPER CELL, AND 24? A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Stephen Laurence Keane, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2007 AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM IN TELEVISION SPY DRAMAS: MAINSTREAMING AMERICA WITH I SPY, SLEEPER CELL, AND 24? Stephen Laurence Keane, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Michael Coventry, PhD Reader: Thomas Mascaro, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis explores the potential for American television spy dramas to mainstream their viewers to see America as exceptional, thereby seeing America as superior and in a unique position of power to inflict its beliefs on the rest of the world. This notion of American exceptionalism has existed since the founding of the United States and has often been a source of pride for the country. However, in the post-9/11 world, this component of American nationalism continues to contribute to the disdain terrorists feel in response to the Western world and American ideology. TV spy shows, through their established conventions and norms, potentially perpetuate the American characteristics that fuel terrorism aimed toward the West and the United States. As such, America was engaged in some historic events during the 1960s. The civil rights movement, being among them, had a tremendous impact on the makeup and ideology of the country. Accordingly, the television also played a role. By using ii media, cultural, and psychological theories, three American spy shows and their potential effects they had on viewers will be explored.

Hank Keller (Billy Zane) and his young wife Becky (Mariana Klaveno) live on a farmhouse, several miles outside of the tiny rural town of Redemption, where Becky works as a waitress at the local diner. Hank struggles to make a living restoring cars, working out of a shed on the farm. A long-overdue rainstorm gathers in the distance as Becky arrives home from work on her bicycle. Before the couple can finish dinner, the rain arrives, bringing welcome relief to the muggy farmhouse. Hank whispers tenderly to Becky, as he unbuttons her waitress uniform, that he doesn’t want her to worry any more about money; things are about to get better for them. They move to the bedroom and slowly start to make love, but an alarming knock at the back door interrupts their private moment, and Hank heads for the door, gun in hand, where he finds a wet, disheveled young man, who asks to borrow the phone.
