The Island President tells the story of
President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem
greater than any other world leader has ever faced--the literal survival
of his country and everyone in it. As the lowest lying country in the
world, if the sea level rises a few feet, the picturesque islands of the
Maldives will be submerged and uninhabitable, like a modern-day
Atlantis. It could happen as soon as 2050.
People's Choice Documentary Award at the Toronto Film Festival. The film was awarded the Cadillac
