Film: You've Been Trumped (Dir: Anthony Baxter 95 mins Unrated) *Homegrown cancelled due to licensing issues*
Take One Action Film Festival Scottish Regional Tour (sponsored by Co-operative Membership) presents:
You've Been Trumped is the inspiring and shocking David and Goliath story about a group of proud Scottish homeowners who take on billionaire celebrity tycoon Donald Trump as he buys up one of Scotland's last wilderness areas to build a golf resort.
After the Scottish Government overturns its own environmental laws to give Trump the green light, the stage is set for an extraordinary summer of discontent, as the bulldozers spring into action, water gets shut off and the police descend on the home owners, who in direct homage to the film Local Hero, refuse to sell their land.
With a stunning score by Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi, this is a rare and revealing glimpse into absolute power on Scottish soil that raises the enormous question: who rules in Scotland today?
The film will be followed by a discussion with guest panel speakers.
"A runaway success and festival hit" - The Times
"An explosive documentary" - The Daily Mail
