A classic David and Goliath tale, President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives confronts a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced: the literal survival of his whole country. The film provides a rare and unprecedented glimpse of the political horse-trading that goes on between world leaders at such a top-level global assembly.
"A fascinating look at an extraordinary personality."

"What makes Nasheed's whirligig tactics so urgent is that, unlike most other countries participating in the summit, his own nation is actually in danger of being annihilated by climate change."
Peter Rainer
Christian Science Monitor
"The hope that infuses this movie makes it all the more upsetting to walk out of the theater and contemplate a looming disaster that the world's leaders seem unable to prevent."
