Postcard From Paradise

A disturbing look at the dysfunctional waste management system in the Maldives and the immediate consequences

Running time 11 min

The Maldives has become the number one travel and honeymoon destination for the rich and famous who seek noting but ultimate tropical luxury.

But what happens when you allow 600.000 tourists to explore and visit this fragile and highly unique marine environment each year without having a proper and functional waste management system?

Postcards From Paradise, commissioned by France5 and Narrative, will take you behind the scenes of this picture perfect holiday destination and show you the immediate and worrying consequences of local garbage treatment.
