You’ve Been Trumped Too

Streaming video - 2020

Investigative journalist Anthony Baxter travels between the Presidential race and the timeless Scottish countryside to explore the troubling confrontation between a feisty 92-year-old Scottish widow and her family and Donald Trump. “There could not be a more important film than this,” wrote Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian, yet the film was temporarily shut down following legal threats from the Trump Organization. As thousands of journalists hang on every Trump utterance, wondering what he might say next, Baxter explores the consequences of his actions. In Scotland, Baxter discovers that Molly Forbes – now aged 92 – is without a proper working water supply, more than five years after Donald Trump’s workers first cut it off while con...structing a luxury golf resort. As Donald Trump crisscrosses America in his campaign for President, Molly struggles to find enough water to wash up, feed her chickens, or even flush the toilet. YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED TOO is a remarkable document of the disconnect between political rhetoric and the lives of ordinary people.
