Definitely too long - 30 words or under will suffice. ?As soon as I get half way I switch off - short, sweet and to the point will be more effective.

“…It?s show business?and it makes sense economically to develop stories that appeal to these demographics…”
Good stories sell – women, men, white or black won’t change that. As long as the writer serves the story they will serve the audience, specifying gender and race, unless critical to the plot, serves no purpose in a logline. The audience won’t necessarily pay to see a movie because it has a Latina actor, writer, director or producer, but they will pay if they’re told by a friend or online that it’s a good story.
As I mentioned above, the MC’s cultural heritage in this instance is related but not critical to the plot. My point was that a white person or Afro-American or Native American could all be the MC who saves people from slave traders – the ethnicity and gender are simply not relevant. However, if the MC was somehow personally connected to the kidnapping she is fighting then it could warrant a mention in the logline. Perhaps she herself or her family were taken by the gang years before. She needs to have a personal stake that resulted from her ethnicity in order for it to be mentioned in the logline.
See lessAn African girl on her way to the US for further studies is apprehended at JFK with a satchet of narcotics that had been planted in her luggage in London. She has no clue how the drugs crept into her luggage so she professes her innocence. Faced with the prospect of life in prison, she appeals to the NAACP and Women’s Rights Groups to come to her defence against a prosecutor that is bent on ensuring her incarceration as part of the new US administration’s determination to fight the drugs menace. In the suing court drama, a previously out of sorts lawyer becomes the hero in his game of wits with the prosecutor as the case takes on racial twist.
This is a cool concept but this is way too long to be a logline.
