Celebrating Earth Day! Guest Speaker Ashley Hunt-Martorano from?The Citizens Climate Lobby?will conduct a Q&A after the film.

Jon Shenk?s?The Island President?is 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. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with 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 enough to make them uninhabitable. Despite the modest size of his country, Mohamed Nasheed has become one of the leading international voices for urgent action on climate change.?Running time: 1 hr, 41 minutes.
