User Review
Much Much Better than An Inconvenient Truth.
Rating: 10/10
The Documentary was very well directed and presented. It portrays the
important events that took place in Mohamed Nasheed's life as a child
and as a politician, and his 'sudden' movement towards environment. It
would made us think the how vulnerable the Maldivian life actually is!
The Island President is hardly a PowerPoint presentation on the subject
of environmental responsibility. That's already been done well enough.
Instead, This Documentary tackles the message from a compelling human-
interest angle -- by focusing on the messenger.
It was far more entertaining and less didactic than An Inconvenient
Truth, with beautiful scenery of Indian Ocean captured with bird-view
camera angles both in stills and amazing time-lapses.
A must watch for all environment lovers.
