A follow-up to 'You've Been Trumped', which takes up where the previous film left off. American billionaire property developer Donald Trump and other rapacious developers battle local heroes in Scotland in their effort to build luxury golf resorts that end up costing the earth.
Edinburgh International Film Festival 2014 - World premiere
In this David and Goliath tale for the 21st century, a group of proud Scottish homeowners take on Donald Trump, as he gets set to destroy one of Britain's last wilderness areas in order to build a luxury golf resort. We follow the local residents as they make their last stand in the face of security harassment, constant legal threats and the cutting off of their water and electricity supplies. Director Anthony Baxter himself becomes international news after being thrown in jail following an interview with Trump’s green keeper. Told entirely without narration, You've Been Trumped captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting and media savvy Donald Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community. For the tycoon, the golf course is just another deal, with a possible billion dollar payoff. For the residents, it represents the destruction of a globally unique landscape that has been the backdrop for their lives.
