A Dangerous Game is the surprising sequel to You’ve Been Trumped (2011), winner of over a dozen awards, where a group of Scottish landowners measure their wits against the tycoon Donald Trump, who plans to build a couple of golf courses and a resort on their land.
At stake is the capacity of human beings to protect the fragile place they live in. Driven by the controversy generated around his first film, Anthony Baxter travels to different parts of the world where Trump and other rapacious entrepreneurs –generally with the collaboration and complacency of the local authorities– use golf as an excuse to build massive holiday resorts that end up representing enormous cost for the planet.
