Trump: A Family History

President Donald Trump

You are probably by now already hideously aware of The Great American Mistake.

Within a short space of time, President Donald Trump has made an executive order to reopen the Keystone Dakota oil pipeline, damning a large community of Native Americans to unsafe water supplies.

He has also banned people from “Muslim majority countries” entering the USA, in the name of ending terrorism. This has closed America’s doors to the tired, poor and huddled masses left without homes and without hope, trapped in chaos driven by war.

On the 17th January 2017, I interviewed the documentary filmmaker Paul Berczeller, who has made a documentary for Channel 4 about the origins of Donald Trump, going back to his grandfather who emigrated from Germany and ran brothels for gold miners in the Old West.

I talked to him about what had to happen to create a Donald Trump, and to get his perspective on the reality of a Trump presidency.

Paul’s film ‘Meet the Trumps’ is available to watch on All4 here.

This interview was initially recorded for iRadio Coventry, and aired on 17/01/2017.
