Bemutató időpontja: 2013 29

The world is watching closely as Somalia continues to raise fears of extremism and unending clan warfare. Years of civil war and crippling drought have torn this once-prosperous nation to shreds. Now pirates and terrorists are destroying what remains of civil society… But one man thinks he can make a difference. This film gains unprecedented access to Abdirahman Farole, a Somali-Australian former refugee who has returned to his native land to become the President of Puntland (the northern province of Somalia) with the sole mission to bring back peace and a working democracy to Somalia once and for all. Can Somalia be saved?
