On a flight, I enjoyed watching the feel-good Bollywood movie Basmati Blues. On the serious side
it looks at a significant modern problem: wealthy multi-national corporations use scientific research to develop technologies that the companies market (in deceptive manners) in the Majority World and disregard the culture and needs of local communities. The fictional story reminded me of real controversies involving Monsanto and Nestle.
Unfortunately, the movie does fit the white saviour trope.
