Am familiar with Dr Norman Swan, but didn't put two and two together until an hour ago.

This doco is being released on 18th August I believe.

You’ve Been Trumped Too: Documentary that Trump ‘doesn’t want you to see’ to be released worldwide
Trump has tried to block the film from being seen for the past four years

A damning documentary about Donald Trump that the US president “doesn’t want you to see” is getting released worldwide.

Having been held back by legal threats from the Trump Organisation for the past four years, You’ve Been Trumped Too has been picked up for release, and will arrive less than three months before the 2020 US election.

The documentary explores the “deeply troubling” confrontation between Trump and 96-year-old Scottish widow Molly Forbes half a decade after it’s discovered that the president’s workers shut off her family’s water supply while constructing a luxury golf resort near Aberdeen.

These events were first documented in 2011 film You’ve Been Trumped.
