The movie of dangerous ideas

At the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, Dambisa Moyo said that she wanted to see more movies that showed Africa in a positive light. This is to undermine the "soft bigotry of low expectations".

I actually thought about this and I figure I'd share my semi-random thoughts.

Okay, so first let's do an action-adventure blockbuster, not a drama or documentary. We've had enough of those.

Imagine a future Africa where China and India are the main trading partners (reflected by distribution of extras in scenes), someone like Dambisa Moyo is doing lecture tours about what do about a collapsed US, someone like Christopher Hitchens is doing lecture tours about how some religion (not Christianity which is as obsolete as ancient Greek religion) is poison.

Let's go with a buddy movie with one main character African and the other Chinese. Professions would be something like a bond trader, nuclear engineer or something that seems fantastic now but is matter-of-fact then. So the characters would rant about their work (Vince Vaughn style) in the same manner one would expect of any other job.

Male or female doesn't really matter as long as the actors can pull off the role. Surrounding environment demonstrates a very equal distribution of gender in all roles in a matter-of-fact style. Not explicitly emphasised.

The attitude of all the characters and the way the movie is presented must act as if this idea that Africa is a second-class world citizen is unthinkable. There is just a matter-of-factness of African economic power.

I'm also thinking matter-of-fact Wing Chun and parkour skills. Nothing glamourised or special about it. Why? Because it would be cool.

The plot would send the heroes across the continent with obligatory expanse shots of the wonder of Africa, etc. So this means a treasure hunt / conspiracy genre. Most scenes though would be urban within green cities (obviously as this is a future where we're still alive).

100 million should do it. At most a couple hundred million. Any takers?
