Who’s the guy with the flag?

In 2014, Jeremiah Heaton made global headlines when he planted
a flag in a patch of desert between Egypt and Sudan and declared himself King, so that his daughter could be a “real-life princess.”

A white guy planting a flag in Africa in 2014 and declaring himself King… what could possibly go wrong?

Turns out quite a lot. Especially when you involve everyone from
the U.S. military to Chinese gangsters to the self-proclaimed
“King of Cruises.'‘

“This documentary is NUTS! It’s like they found out how to take an episode of 'The Office' and make it about geopolitics.”

— Amy Nicholson, KPCC Film Week

 
 
 
 
 

“The fact that this film is so well made is a real testament to the pacing and the tone. The tone is not quite mocking, but very aware of the problematic nature of everything that is happening here.”

— Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
