(Anthony Baxter, UK 2012, 100 min., Digital Projection)

Rochester Premiere! In this David-and-Goliath tale, a group of proud Scottish homeowners takes on Donald Trump as he gets set to destroy the crown jewels of Scotland’s natural heritage to build a luxury golf resort. We follow the local residents as they make their last stand in the face of police 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 greenskeeper. Told entirely without narration, You’ve Been Trumped captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jetsetting, and media savvy Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community.
