A father's loving gesture to make his daughter a "real-life princess" quickly spirals out of control, when he starts his own country. His quest takes him from his Virginia farm to a no-man's-land between Egypt and Sudan. And forces him to navigate the murky waters of global diplomacy, U.S. military dark sites, and the Chinese criminal underbelly. Can a normal man become a king through sheer moxie and the cunning use of Wikipedia? And can he do it before he loses his house, his family, and possibly a few fingers?

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) The gaul of him is amazing. The fact that this is film is so well made is a real testament to the pacing and tone, because it would be so easy to turn this off sighing "Enough of this guy!" Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) This documentary is nuts. It's like they took an episode of The Office and made it about geopolitics. Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A wild story that covers all sorts of international intrigue, while still keeping the focus on one man's crazy dream.
