A Storm Foretold | Film & Talk

For 40 years, Donald Trump’s political godfather Roger Stone did his dirty work for him. In 2018, he let the Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen fully into his unfiltered life for three years, and Gulbrandsen followed the Make America Great Again movement from close up. We see how Stone lets radical Proud Boys cheer him on, slip him cheques and protect him. He mocks people who are different, bullies subordinates and spreads malicious rumours about opponents. A shocking portrait that shows that the violent storming of the Capitol was a logical consequence of years of hatemongering. The question is will it go further in the future? Gulbrandsen says, ‘’As to the events I witnessed, I believe they were only the beginning. A warning of what is yet to come.”

Afterwards, there will be a Zoom Q&A with director Christoffer Gulbransen.
