You’ve Been Trumped Too will be released worldwide after Angus director Anthony Baxter reveals global rights deal

An Angus film-maker’s documentary Donald Trump tried to block is set for worldwide release.

After a four-year delay due to legal threats by the US president, Anthony Baxter of Montrose Pictures has revealed he has clinched a deal for the global rights to his production, You’ve Been Trumped Too.

The documentary was the follow up to You’ve Been Trumped, charting the effect of the property magnate’s controversial relationship with the community on the Menie estate north of Aberdeen, where he developed a luxury golf resort.

Mr Baxter said he hoped the deal with UK-based Journeyman Pictures will help You’ve Been Trumped Too reach as many viewers as possible ahead of Mr Trump’s second bid for the White House towards the end of the year.

The film explores the confrontation between Trump and 96-year-old Molly Forbes, the Balmenie widow the billionaire businessman said reminded him of his own Scottish mother.

Despite positive reviews, Mr Baxter saw the film’s exposure shut down indefinitely following legal threats from the Trump Organisation.

The film-maker was originally arrested and jailed when he first discovered the water supply to Molly and her family had been cut off by workers involved in the construction of the golf course development

In You’ve Been Trumped Too, Mr Baxter says he was astounded to learn Molly and her son, Michael, were still without a reliable water supply half a decade on.

The Trump Organisation previously said it had no interest in the film, but Mr Baxter said it threatened any cinema that showed it.

This lead to its US distributor pulling out and preventing a proper release.

Journeyman Pictures managing director Mark Stucke said: “Given the times we are living in, this critically-acclaimed film is more powerful and relevant than ever, and Journeyman is proud to be bringing it to the world.”

Mr Baxter said: “You’ve Been Trumped Too is the film Donald Trump doesn’t want you to see.

“I believe the film’s release by Journeymen Pictures is an important landmark for freedom of speech, independent film-making, and, most importantly, the accountability of the rich and powerful.”

This is the film Donald Trump doesn’t want you to see
