Free Screening of "You've Been Trumped Too" Tonight on Facebook live

We've announced a special screening of the film FREE of charge this week through Facebook Live!

The film will premiere online this Thursday, November 3rd at 8pm EST on the You've Been Trumped Too Facebook Page (http://facebook.com/youvebeentrumpedtoo)

YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED TOO opened theatrically in New York on Friday, October 28, and begins in UK cinemas this week.

But after word of the film spread, Mr Trump’s company issued a statement threatening to sue anyone involved in distributing the film, and the 92-year old widow at the heart of the story..

Labeled "a ticking time bomb" by IndieWire, the film tells the story of Molly Forbes living without proper running water for six years since the Trump Organization cut off her water supply while working on their luxury golf course. The film also contains footage showing Donald Trump wanting to ‘get rid’ of houses and building Mexico border style walls around homes in Scotland.

“There is a profound danger to freedom of speech in Mr Trump’s actions, especially with the election around the corner,” said director Anthony Baxter.

Donald Trump issued a similar legal threat to the BBC in 2012 when Baxter released an earlier film, You’ve Been Trumped. The BBC aired the film anyway, to widespread critical acclaim.
