Documentarian Anthony Baxter earned a powerful adversary with 2011 feature You’ve Been Trumped , a shaming critique of Donald Trump’s attempt to build a vast luxury golf resort on the east coast of Scotland. This slightly less incendiary follow-up not only catches up with the tycoon’s chief opponent – gloriously indomitable local farmer Michael Forbes – but also puts other golf developments in Croatia, China and Dubai under the same unforgiving spotlight.

A troubling survey of polluted water tables, despoiled world heritage sites and obscene financial inequality duly ensues. However, it’s only when the preposterous Trump appears that the film clicks into focus.
