WITH the US presidential election just days away, a 92-year-old Scottish woman reveals the consequences of taking on billionaire Donald Trump and the reality of his bombastic broken promises in this sombre documentary.
British film-maker Anthony Baxter returned to Scotland to catch up with Molly Forbes and her family, who featured in his 2011 film You’ve Been Trumped, to discover that the feisty pensioner has had no running water for almost five years since Trump’s workmen broke the pipe that delivered her supply from the spring under his golf course near Aberdeen.
