A Movie Idea! (Free!)

So. Here it is. No obligation. It is anyone’s for the taking and producing. Go for it!

A wayward son, Will Tellis, comes to his senses after much incontinent revelry.   Having squandered his parents’ wealth and caused them many-a pain, he gets his head on straight.  (An answer to prayers!)  Then, he decides to go whole-hog straight and take up that cause most precious to his parents – abortion. On a whim (divine inspiration, we might suppose), he blows up all the abortuaries within his county and is on the run when discovery is made by police of his identity as “the bomber.” 

News reports feature pleas from the authorities forassistance is breaking the case.  Discussion is brief among the Pro-life community.  Conclusion is to collude with the police!  “Law and order” must be upheld.

Will, tracking the news as he conceals his identity andhides out in various places, is sorely disappointed by the condemnation hisdeeds are receiving from all the otherwise-pious church folks and the anti-abortionistsfound generally among them.  He isdumbfounded and wonders about his own motives for his action. Was hewrong?  Proud?  Deceived? Did he waste opportunity?  Did hethrow a new start on life away? 

Isolated and lonely in hiding, he grows weary in wonderingabout his fate.   Finally, he decides tostart anew –  another place, anothername. 

He ends up in Argentina, way down at the southernmost region, where he meets the descendants of other refugees from past:  the great, great grandchildren of Nazis.  These are of a devout Christian mind, livingtogether in a town where the Ten Commandments are law and the statutes areenforced with Deuteronomic accuracy. Murderers and adulterers are executed. Thieves are not incarcerated ormutilated, but compelled to pay back double their spoils.

The economies, meanwhile, of the West fall withdepression-era magnitude.  Will’s skillsin developing small community order come into play.  He sends envoys from his colony to thedevastated nations to restore order.   Heknows how to build a just society.
