OFFICIAL TRAILER
Jeremiah wants to make his daughter a “real-life princess.” His loving gesture spirals wildly out of control when he starts his own country.
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.”

The Team
“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
