Nauru, an Island Adrift

Nauru, an Island Adrift (2009) is a documentary film directed by Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.

A quiet island, lost in the pacific ocean. Nothing worth of interest, until the day a stroke of luck, phosphate, provided by the island's coral core, led the country to incredible heights: in 1975, it became the second richest country per inhabitant in the world after Saudi Arabia... Only to plunge into ruins a few years later.
