A film about US tycoon Donald Trumps and his efforts to develop his golf resort is set for its UK premiere.
You've Been Trumped is the work of two filmmakers and is “an urgent examination of Donald Trump's plans to construct a luxury golf resort on one of the most environmentally sensitive stretches of land in Europe”, according to its creators.
It will be shown for the first time at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival following its world premiere in Toronto last month.
Director Anthony Baxter said: "The documentary tries to uncover the truth and I feel the truth has not been told to the people of Scotland or the people of the wider world."
You've Been Trumped features Mr Baxter's arrest by police and accounts from local residents, several of whom were given their own cameras to record their feelings about the development.
The controversial £750m project on the Menie Estate at Balmedie includes a 450-room hotel, 950 holiday apartments and 500 residential homes.
The Scottish Government granted Mr Trump permission to build the two golf courses back in 2009.
The trailer is available to view on youtube.
