A Novel Thought Experiment
by Glen Dunzweiler
What if regular people decide whose life is worth living?
What happens when regular people start deciding whose life Is worth living?
Like any vigilante action or grass roots movement, the lack of a power structure in The Moralists makes people uneasy. The public asks, "Is this good?” Are The Moralists Guardian Angels? Are they a cult? Are they the CIA? Are they anarchy?
After years of trying to solve societal complications, filmmaker, producer and social entrepreneur Glen Dunzweiler has created a novel about a group of people who dare to make decisions regarding other’s behavior. What if you take more from society than you give? What if people track that and they do something about it?
Thriller, suspense, and socio-political situations are born from societal conundrums surrounding poverty, crime, capitalism, homelessness, grief, depression, and the breakdown of community and family support systems. The Moralists answers a need but comes up with more questions in the process. Situations are forced to be addressed. Glen Dunzweiler sees that much of modern society has decided that inaction is the best action. He would like to challenge this practice. In doing so, he has created The Moralists in order to run a social experiment. The Moralists don't come up with THE answer. They come up with AN answer and Dunzweiler invites you to see what happens.
“[Has] a sense of urgency and social relevence.”
Editor
Glen is a filmmaker, producer, and social entrepreneur looking open hearts and minds by addressing difficult subjects.
Out of the 2008 housing crisis, Glen realized that the reality being presented was not the same reality that was being lived. His goal became to tell stories that were usually being ignored or run away from. Starting with his feature documentary "yHomeless?", Glen became a personality tourist. He realized that their was something to learn from people that usually don't get the spotlight. His short films "Lydia" and "The Bag" humanize people that are seen as disposable. His non-fiction books Things I've Learned from the Homeless and A Degree in Homelessness: Entrepreneurial Skills for Students give readers tools for success. The Moralists is a culmination of his past work and is the begginning of a new storytelling world.
