It's a plausible plotline, methinks:
A young man raised to believe he is among the best and brightest in
his community/country migrates to a prosperous Western country for
higher education and/or employment in a field that encourages a
reductionist, technocratic worldview. Once there he is neither able
to find work worthy of his talents and education nor social
acceptance among his peers. As he sinks deeper into self-pity he
seeks refuge in a physical or virtual ethnic ghetto where he is a
highly prized potential recruit to extremist groups who build on his
persecution complex with evidence of the global conspiracy against
his people and offer him the opportunity to deploy his skills to
achieve vengeance for his own tribulations and the significance that
he believes is his birthright.
Soderbergh should direct it.
