#movies - "The Apprentice": New Film Opens Despite Trump's Attempts to Block Anyone from Seeing It: Democracy Now

11 October 2024

We speak with the director of _The Apprentice_, "the movie Trump doesn't want you to see," which opens today in theaters despite legal threats from the former president.

The film looks at how Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn, former chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare.

He went on to represent Trump as he built his New York real estate empire, and "was the person who sort of built Trump, as a person, as a brand, as an identity," says Abbasi.
