Following up on the success of last week’s screenings of Battle for Brooklyn comes another documentary about “sports vs homes,” this time with an environmental twist.
Come join us this Friday, January 13, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. for the Hawaii premiere of “You’ve Been Trumped” at the Doris Duke Theater at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. There is a pre-screening reception from 6:00 – 7:30, so please come early.
In this controversial David-and-Goliath story, a group of Scottish homeowners take on Donald Trump as he sets out to build the world’s most luxurious golf resort on one of Scotland’s last wilderness areas. When the Scottish government overturns their own environmental laws to greenlight the project, the stage is set for an extraordinary summer of discontent.
Winner: Victor Rabinowitz and Joanne Grant Award for Social Justice, Hamptons International Film Festival.
I will post my review shortly.
I will be introducing the film and leading a Q-and-A session after the screening along with the Sierra Club’s Anthony Aalto (journalist, writer and Chair of The Capitol Watch – the Sierra Club’s lobbying arm).
