THE ISLAND PRESIDENT (2011)
JON SHENK
Cast
Plot
After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Mohamed Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge, saving his country and people from disappearing below the waves. Touching, insightful and a little bit depressing ‘Island President’ shows us what a petty, self-serving, duplicitous and short sighted position the world powers take on climate change while Nasheed himself, determined yet dignified, comes across as the sort of leader every humanitarian dreams of.
