YOU'VE YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN BEEN BEEN TRUMPED<br />
TRUMPED<br />
Directed by Anthony Baxter<br />
In this David and Goliath story for the 21st<br />
century, a group of proud Scottish<br />
homeowners take on a celebrity tycoon. At<br />
stake is one of Britain's very last stretches<br />
of wilderness.<br />
American billionaire Donald Trump has<br />
bought up hundreds of acres on the<br />
northeast coast of Scotland, best known to<br />
movie-lovers as the setting for the 1983<br />
classic film LOCAL HERO. And like the<br />
American oil tycoon played by Burt<br />
Lancaster, he needs to buy out a few more<br />
locals to make the deal <strong>com</strong>e true. In a<br />
land swimming with golf courses, Trump is<br />
going to build two more - alongside a<br />
450-room hotel and 1,500 luxury homes.<br />
The trouble is, the land he has purchased<br />
occupies one of Europe's most<br />
environmentally sensitive stretches of<br />
coast, described by one leading scientist<br />
as Scotland's Amazon rain forest. And the<br />
handful of local residents don't want it<br />
destroyed.<br />
After the Scottish Government overturns<br />
its own environmental laws to give Trump<br />
the green light, the stage is set for an<br />
extraordinary summer of discontent, as<br />
the bulldozers spring into action. Water<br />
and power is cut off, land disputes erupt,<br />
and some residents have thousands of<br />
tonnes of earth piled up next to their<br />
homes. Complaints go ignored by the<br />
police, who instead arrest the film's<br />
director, Anthony Baxter. Local<br />
exasperation <strong>com</strong>es to a surreal head as<br />
the now "Dr." Trump scoops up an<br />
honorary doctorate from a local university,<br />
even as his tractors turn wild, untouched<br />
dunes into fairways.<br />
Told entirely without narration, YOU'VE<br />
BEEN TRUMPED captures the cultural<br />
chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting<br />
and media savvy Donald Trump and a<br />
deeply rooted Scottish <strong>com</strong>munity. What<br />
begins as an often amusing clash of world<br />
views grows increasingly bitter and<br />
disturbing. For the tycoon, the golf course<br />
is just another deal, with a possible billion<br />
dollar payoff. For the residents, it<br />
represents the destruction of a globally<br />
unique landscape that has been the<br />
backdrop for their lives.<br />
Funny, inspiring and heartbreaking in turns,<br />
YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED is both an<br />
entertaining, can't-believe-it's-true tale and<br />
an environmental parable for our celebrity<br />
driven times. A moving score features<br />
music from jonsi, the internationally<br />
acclaimed musician and frontman of Sigur<br />
Ros. The film also offers a rare and<br />
revealing glimpse of the unfiltered Donald<br />
Trump, as he considers standing as a<br />
candidate for President of the United<br />
States.<br />
