An inexperienced lawyer must defend his family and his client from an egotistical journalist's stories that have convinced the World that this client hides a deadly identity, an identity the people are determined to erase.

A DIRT OF HELL
?A young defence lawyer?s family are put at risk after a persistent journalist convinces a Jewish community that his client is a deadly dictator presumed to be dead.?
SO MUCH BETTER!!! HOOK IS THERE AND IT IS TIGHT!!!
Sharkeatingman: incredible feedback. Could not have put it better myself.
And I reiterate another comment: A DIRT OF HELL is a really really awkward title.
Hi guys thank you so much for the comments and they both have helped. I'm a bit worried about giving too much away in the log line but now seeing that it is mainly for studios then I don't suppose it matters if I did say who it was. However in the film it will only be implied not actually stated. I have had another go at one, actually I have put two and I will post them below so would love some more feedback if you have time. Also A Dirt Of Hell is an anagram of the man's identity he is accused of being. Perhaps you can guess it from that or maybe the following two log lines.
'When a young defence lawyer's client is accused of being a deadly dictator presumed dead he must quickly convince the world, and his Jewish family, of this client's innocence before an egotistical journalist leads a mob to exact fateful revenge.'
'A young defence lawyer's family are put at risk after a persistent journalist convinces a Jewish community that his client is a deadly dictator presumed to be dead.'
