A Dangerous Game
Director Anthony Baxter's follow-up to the award-winning You've Been Trumped follows American billionaire Donald Trump and a cast of other greedy characters who want to turn some of the Earth's most precious places into golf courses and playgrounds for the super rich. To obtain their latest trophies, these tycoons bully local residents, influence governments, ignore local referendums, and even meddle in national environmental policies, from the historic site of Dubrovnik to the ancient sand dunes and rolling green hills of the seaside town of Balmedie. We learn how damaging these golf courses can be to the surrounding countryside and water tables thanks to in-depth interviews and Baxter's expert storytelling. The locals don't give in easily in this hilarious, inspiring, and at times heartbreaking David and Goliath story for the twenty-first century. Will their struggle, however, be sufficient to protect their land and way of life?
