518    Originally produced by First Run Features in 2011. 
520    On February 7, 2012, Mohamed Nasheed resigned the 
       presidency under the threat of violence in a coup d'etat 
       perpetrated by security forces loyal to the former 
       dictator. This film is the story of his first year in 
       office. A film about one man's mission to save his nation 
       and perhaps the planet, The Island President is a riveting,
       uplifting story that is impossible to take your eyes off 
       of. President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives is 
       confronting a problem greater than any other world leader 
       has ever faced - the survival of his country and everyone 
       in it. Nasheed, who brought democracy to the Maldives 
       after decades of despotic rule, now faces an even greater 
       challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the 
       world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge 
       the 1200 islands of the Maldives and make them 
       uninhabitable. A classic David and Goliath tale, The 
       Island President captures Nasheed's battle to stop global 
       warming - and save his country. A film by Jon Shenk (Lost 
       Boys of Sudan). Music by Radiohead and Stars of the Lid. 
       Winner of the Sundance Institute Hilton Lightstay 
       Sustainability Award. Winner of The People's Choice Award,
       Toronto International Film Festival.
