TROUBLE TROUBLE WITH WITH TOL TOLSTOY,
TOL STOY,
THE
THE
Alan Yentob takes an epic train ride
through Leo Tolstoy's Russia, examining
how Russia's great novelist became her
great troublemaker.
Guided by the writer's astonishingly
honest and confessional diaries, Yentob
travels through Tolstoy's Russia looking at
the life, work and legacy of the author of
Anna Karenina and War and Peace.
It reveals a difficult, restless, ferociously
brilliant man with an appetite for causing
trouble both for himself, his family and for
the world around him due to his
fundamentalist views on God, violence
and government.

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