An inconvenient bike ride?: Maldives President takes unnecessary fossil-fueled trip to Toronto to see propaganda film arguing that fossil-fueled trips might kill every resident of the Maldives

They couldn't just mail him a DVD?

President Nasheed Attends World Premiere of Maldives Documentary Film
President Mohamed Nasheed has attended the World Premiere of the documentary film, 'The Island President', at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday evening. The premiere event was also attended by First Lady Laila Ali, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Naseem, Chief Of Staff at the President’s Office Ahmed Mausoom, and Press Secretary Mohamed Zuhair.
SYNOPSIS | THE ISLAND PRESIDENT
The Island President tells 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.
...Unless dramatic changes are made by the larger countries of the world, the Maldives, like a modern Atlantis, will disappear under the waves.
