Watch Countries Less Traveled: Nauru

This brief travel documentary film premiered in 2005. It is about the country of Nauru located in the region known as Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean. Learn about this isolated and tiny island country that is home to a population of about 10,000 people. Find out how this island nation went from being one of the world's wealthiest countries to one of its poorest after a mining boom went bust. See how the island has changed in the past 15 years from an economic boom, to bankruptcy and finally to obscurity with its claim to fame now being a place where refugees heading to Australia hide out.
