Fools Rush In OVERVIEWGenre: Drama Production Status: In Development CAST & CREW Screenplay: Bill Carter Producers: Julie Kirkham & Elliott Lewitt “Dante’s Inferno for the MTV generation. What a guide Bill Carter turns out to be to the hell of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. Oddly and inspiringly he finds some heaven there.” – Bono “Fools Rush In is a totally admirable book, the memoir of a young man written out of necessity, the only true reason to write a book. Some of the pages will burn your fingers but the anguish is leavened by the lucidity of the prose. It is a memoir of grand dimension and its consciousness will become part of your life” - Jim Harrison, author of "Legends of the Fall" “After reading 'Fools Rush In', you may find yourself giving much greater consideration to what in life is important and what is merely trivial.” - Jon Krakauer, author of "Into Thin Air and Under the Banner of Heaven" Some trips are chosen, others choose you. When tragedy strikes Bill Carter’s life, he finds himself drawn to a war zone. Sharing his extraordinary journey into a modern heart of darkness, we meet a shattered man rebuilding the ruins of his former self in the most unlikely of places. Living in an abandoned tower block and delivering supplies to the citizens of war-torn Sarajevo, Carter becomes part of a community of inspirational people who will lend him the key to his own recovery. In return, he daringly enlists the help of supergroup U2 and sets up satellite broadcasts to the Zooropa world tour, giving the people of Sarajevo a voice, and he goes on to direct and produce the award-winning documentary Miss Sarajevo. "Fools Rush In" takes us on an emotional roller-coaster ride from Alaska to Sarajevo to Dublin to Arizona and back again. Powerfully moving by never sentimental, this is a compelling true story of generosity, courage and redemption. Bill Carter's Site Purchase the book at Amazon.com
