Thank you Paul for posting this!
I have only watched the first of the four parts of the documentary and found that segment provided a very good context and background on the political situation of the last few years in the Maldives.
I wish the Maldivian people the very best in their attempt to have liberty, and more importantly, pray for the development of the sort of societal institutions that will allow the budding democracy to thrive, and not yet another kleptocratic autocracy by a different clan.
