As we prepare for Climate Impacts Day on May 5, it’s important to remind ourselves of the Maldives, one of the world’s most climate impacted countries. An archipelago of hundreds of islands only a few meters above sea level, the Maldives demonstrates just how fragile our climate system is–the entire country could be uninhabitable in less than a century. The Island President is a powerful film that tells the story of President Mohamed Nasheed, a 350 Messenger and climate champion. Nasheed, who was recently overthown in a bloodless coup, has played a critical role in spreading the number 350, and generating public awareness and action on climate.
Check out the list below to find a screening near you, and click here to download and print a 350.org flyer to hand out when you go to the film.
