Ok, sorry about the "charge of the rhinos" part
It just felt as if someone came to that mother character of yours and said "Look at all the sorrow in this unspoiled child's eyes... He sees the world, Our World, and looks at his mother as if he was saying "You shouldn't have given me a birth". Woe, woe on us!!!". I hate that "We know Drama"(c)HBO thing for a number of reasons, main of which being - the reality is much more touching, appealing, and can be related to.
Anyway. As long as there is a will to co-operate something good may come out of it
If you do want to make the campaign of your life - as historical as possible, as real as it gets, and the one that would deserve a round of applause - I'm sure that many people here, including myself, will try to help. Cheer up, for what you plan to do has never been done by a foreigner
