北苏丹之王 The King of North Sudan

Danny Abel’s documentary tells the incredible, all-American story of Jeremiah Heaton and his geographical conquest. It all starts in 2014, when Heaton lays claim to 500,000 acres of desert land between Egypt and Sudan; his initial aim is to establish a kingdom so that his daughter can be made a princess. What follows is media attention, a movie deal with Disney, and a shift in motivation: Heaton decides to create a bonafide nation, with industry, a military, and more. Within a year of his flag-planting, he’s looking for access to the State Department and a deal with Trump associate Michael Flynn. Things get even stranger from there. --- from viff.org
