Identifying the Objective Story Issue in Doubt

An update on our Dramatica workshop featuring the 2008 Streep-Hoffman drama, Doubt.

While editing and publishing the Dramatica Users Group Analysis of Doubt video, it occurred to me that I completely forgot to address the Objective Story Issue. Normally this wouldn't be a problem--save for the fact that the actual title of the movie--Doubt--features prominently in the corner of Dramatica's Table of Story Elements.

In the interest of time, and hopefully in an attempt to better educated writers interested in developing their understanding of Dramatica, I went ahead and recorded a quick 6-minute video explaining why the Objective Story Issue of Doubt was not Doubt, but rather Investigation.
