Inside controversial Trump biopic ‘The Apprentice’

  • Summary

  • 'The Apprentice' premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received an eight minute ovation. The film follows a young, awkward, ambitious Donald Trump during his bid for respect among New York City's elite, and his formative relationship with notorious NYC lawyer and political fixer Roy Cohn.


    But in the time since its Cannes debut, team Trump has unleashed a pressure campaign to keep the film from the public.


    Dan Beckerman is a producer of 'The Apprentice', and joins us for a discussion about the film's complicated journey to theatres, and the challenges of making art about powerful people.
