"The film is compelling....It is also entrancing, its use of classical observational techniques combining with dense and informative news footage to produce a complex portrait of its dual subject..."Sight and Sound "Jon Shenk's fascinating documentary feature THE ISLAND PRESIDENT personalizes the threat of global warming, and nationalizes it too, by focusing on Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of the Maldives."Wall Street Journal "Whats fascinating and frustrating about THE ISLAND PRESIDENT is how it reveals international politics to be even more polarized and mired in bureaucracy than local politics."A.V.
