'Return of a President' is a documentary about the aftermath of the 2009 military coup d'etat in Madagascar that landed the country's democratically elected president in exile in South Africa. With unique access to President Ravalomanana and his advisors, the film tells the unusual inside - and little known - story about political intrigue and power play, in which France, the former colonial power, seemingly wants to prevent the president from returning home to reinstall democracy in Madagascar. 'Return of a President' is an intimate and deeply personal account from within the midst of the political power play that followed in the aftermath of the 2009 coup d'état in Madagascar. Through this lense, the film showcases the fragility of democracy while also giving insight into the machinations of modern international negotiations and reconciliation practices.
