You’ve Been Trumped

A film by Anthony Baxter

Trump versus Scotland

In this David and Goliath tale, a group of proud Scottish homeowners take on Donald Trump, as he gets set to destroy the crown jewels of Scotland’s natural heritage in order to build a luxury golf resort. We follow the local residents as they make their last stand in the face of harassment, constant legal threats and the cutting off of their water and electricity supplies.

YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jet—setting and media savvy Donald Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community. For the tycoon, the golf course is just another deal, with a possible billion—dollar payoff. For the residents, it represents the destruction of a globally unique landscape that has been the backdrop of their lives.

“Underdogs stand their ground in Anthony Baxter’s modest but revealing doc.”

- The Hollywood Reporter

“You’ve Been Trumped is a potent study of the intimidating power of money not in theory but on the ground, an examination of how a wealthy man with a boundless sense of entitlement can strong-arm all opposition without really breaking a sweat.”

- Los Angeles Times

“Trump’s almost joyous rudeness…the underlying message is that if you are rich and powerful enough, you can run roughshod over tradition and private property rights and buy your place at the table.”

- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
