No, the rest of the world is already producing and consuming its own media, with no help from the US media oligopolies.
It's already happening in videogames. The average top-tier 3D videogame (cost of production: $10 million) packs more emotional wallop in its little toe than a ten-pack of Hollywood blockbusters (total cost of production: $1 billion). Why? Because videogames are a transnational media, able to access postcolonial history, multipolar geopolitics, and anti-neoliberal social movements.
