Eighty years after liberation, a US war cemetery in Margraten marks Europe’s historic reliance on America. Local politicians now oppose Donald Trump’s planned visit, citing his anti-democratic rhetoric. His second term has strained transatlantic ties, with EU leaders alarmed by comments on Ukraine and NATO. Trump’s remarks have sparked fears Europe is now alone in defending itself. Political analysts call it both a shock and an opportunity for EU self-reliance. Germany is boosting defence spending, though change will take time. Public sentiment is shifting, with growing EU unity and support for independence from US security.

This is a story of anticolonial struggle in the Horn of Africa in the early 20th century. Much of the region was occupied by the British, Italians, French and Ethiopians, and one man led a resistance movement that seriously challenged European colonial authority for 20 years. He was Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, a Sufi Muslim, poet and military leader who united the Somali clans and led the armed Dervish Movement. The British nicknamed him "The Mad Mullah", but he and his Dervish army were formidable opponents, thriving on their knowledge of local conditions to hand out several losses to the occupying forces. In this film, his great-granddaughter visits Somalia for the first time to retrace her ancestor’s footsteps and discover more about his vision of an independent Somalia. Hassan ultimately failed in his bid but is still remembered a century later as a symbol of resistance and national pride.

That's a rare fourth consecutive mandate for the centre-left party. Mark Carney, a former Central Banker and Economist, will stay on as Prime Minister. He'll be the man sitting across the table from US President Donald Trump as the two neighbours - and once close allies - confront disagreements on tariffs, military spending, and even Canadian sovereignty. So, where does Canada go from here? And what will it mean for Canada-US relations?
