Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Pedro Tapia’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Pedro Tapia – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Pedro Tapia and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Pedro Tapia production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Pedro Tapia’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Pedro Tapia and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

ALEX, 40’s, an unshaven, stained t-shirt slob in brown-laced underwear enters. He stomps over a stack of newspapers, kicks his way past dirty ashtrays and plops down on a rodent-infested couch.

ALEX, 40’s, enters. He’s as gruff looking as the room itself; unshaven with a stained t-shirt and crusty, brown underwear.
A lot of suspense stories use children, women, or characters with a disability as main characters to immediately stack the odds against the hero. Okay, it sounds manipulative, but suspense is manipulation. And just because a technique is manipulative doesn’t make it any less effective when it’s done well: think of Wait Until Dark (blind protagonist), Rear Window (wheelchair-bound protagonist), The Sixth Sense (I swear I went to that movie just to make sure that little boy made it out okay), The Shining (another haunted and vulnerable child).
Pedro Tapia – – In Raiders, Indy is up against Hitler (through his minions). Indy is awfully heroic and expert and, well, hot — but he’s still the underdog in this particular fight.
– In Silence, the protagonist Clarice is up against huge odds. She has many personal obstacles. She’s a woman in a man’s world, young, a mere trainee; she has big wounds from a troubled childhood. She also has many external opponents, like Dr. Chilton, the Senator, and more minor characters within scenes — not to mention that Dr. Lecter is not exactly being cooperative. He’s got his own agenda, and he’s a master at playing it.
It’s just ingrained in us to love an underdog.
