[Scene: A UN peacekeeping base in Africa. Solid Snake sits at a table with Nelly Furtado and the Kielburger brothers, Craig and Marc, reviewing their plan. A large screen behind them shows a paused image from Tears of the Sun.]
Solid Snake:
Listen up. Weโre gonna show the kids of Africa Tears of the Sun. Not just for entertainment, but to show โem what real sacrifice looks like. The horrors of war, but also the hope that people can stand up and fight for whatโs right.
Craig Kielburger:
Itโs a powerful film, no doubt. But do you think itโll resonate with them?
Solid Snake:
Theyโve seen worse. They live worse. But weโre not just showing the film. Iโm calling in the cast. Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucciโthe whole damn squad. We get โem suited up in UN peacekeeper uniforms, and they come to your school, Nelly.
Nelly Furtado:
Youโre serious? The kids will flip if they see Bruce Willis walk in dressed like a real soldier.
Solid Snake:
Thatโs the idea. If these kids grow up thinking nobody cares, they lose hope. We show โem that people do careโpeople with influence, people they see on screens.
Marc Kielburger:
And what about leadership? They need more than just a movie and celebrities.
Solid Snake:
Thatโs why Iโm introducing them to their leader. The African Union PresidentโBkenyan Lewis.
Craig Kielburger:
Waitโฆ who?
Solid Snake:
Bkenyan Lewis. A leader who actually gives a damn. Heโs gonna speak to them directly, tell โem theyโre not forgotten. Show them that Africaโs future belongs to them, not warlords, not corrupt politiciansโthem.
Nelly Furtado:
If this worksโฆ it could be something bigger than just a school event.
Solid Snake:
It will work. Because when people fight for something real, thatโs when change happens.
[Fade out as Snake lights a cigarette, staring at the Tears of the Sun poster with determination.]
