It makes for great viewing,was it them? Was it just bad luck ?

Globetrotters Now Thats an Adventure !

This is socio-political black comedy set 25 years from now. It is based around an extreme reality/ game show. Contestants travel the globe completing a weekly challenge. The contestants are in teams of two and set out with a budget of $200,000 with which they use to bribe and pay their way completing the challenges.

Its is a 12 week competition. The film focuses on the final two challenges. These being people smuggling from Indonesia to Australia and drug smuggling from Mexico to the USA. They are competing for  a $20,000,000 first prize.

All the contestants care about is winning the competition and the fame and money that brings with it. They are totally oblivious of everything. They don't care about anyone but themselves, the people they encounter during the challenges are a means to an end.  

The host Johnny Paradis' is an animated game show/reality show host. He is the main character. Impeccably dressed suit and tie. There are also several "reporters' who interview contestants at the end of challenges, as well as provide background information and updates.

Globetrotters begins with people racing around being shot at and chased, scenes from terrorist attacks drug smuggling, special forces and police chases. Then a couple holding a large novelty cheque. Infomercials from major sponsors cut into the show. Interviews with the contestants are done on Skype using ipads. Tweets and email messages appear on the bottom of the screen throughout the show. It is filmed in front of a live studio audience.

The contestants have cameras  and audio on them the whole time. There are in built camera in their jackets and hats which they must wear at all times. The jackets have 6 cameras in them 2 facing forward 2 back and 2 to the side. This gives lots of footage from the contestants view point plus 360 degree vision. Hand held style camera work. Lots of cutting to and from these different camera angles. The contestants are also filmed secretly by a camera crew assigned to each team. It also uses satellite pictures. Lots of real news footage is cut in to give the impression the contestants are there. Its this and the camera work which is used to really highlight the plight of the boat people and those involved in the drug trade. On the boat it shows the conditions the overcrowding the fear and apprehension. In Mexico the use of child killers the mayhem and slaughter and the futility of the war on drugs.
