Just weeks before the U.S. presidential election, filmmaker Anthony Baxter will release a sequel to his award-winning film, You’ve Been Trumped.
You’ve Been Trumped Too, shot in Scotland and the U.S., features the real-life stories of Molly and Michael Forbes, who became nationally-recognized Scottish folk heroes after opposing a controversial Trump golf development in their pristine coastal village.
In the new film, Baxter followes Michael Forbes—who Trump branded “a pig” and his farm “a slum”—to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, where Forbes attempts to find out why some Americans are backing the man he blames for his family’s misfortune.
“I was amazed to observe the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions in Scotland, at the very same time he was running for president,” Baxter said, who was once jailed after investigating why the Trump organization had cut off water supplies to local residents.
“I felt it was a story American voters needed to hear before November 8th.”

The film will debut in New York City and London in late October before being distributed worldwide on other platforms.
