Based on real events, in 1984, when a black, gay political activist is arrested, facing painful rejection from within his own party, the death penalty and HIV; he lobbies the ANC to include a clause to the new Constitution, making it the first and only African nation to ban discrimination based on same-sex sexual orientation.

Nir Shelter:
I don't necessarily have an opinion either way. I think this idea is sold on the idea that's a true story, and thus the logline doesn't have to adhere as closely to logline conventions. I also think that he could add one-I'm not against the idea, I just think it might not be in service the story he's trying to tell.
Either way, I think it works.

Hm, interesting. I was wondering because I've seen you mention your collection before, and I've never been able to find a place that has actual logline vs blurbs. However, I think found the actual logline used to sell the Hannibal TV series when I searched it for some guidance on a logline, which does indeed use the name Hannibal Lecter to sell it.
I guess you're right that I did include the inciting incident in the first version. But you do bring up another point that the formula is also usually suggested("Switch the order so the inciting incident as at the beginning"). Anyway, as a last statement I do recommend the Hannibal series.

While updating my database I tweaked the statistical readouts to include the average number of characters per logline.

The result: ?140 characters ?-- the length of a twitter.
