Listen Later

The new film ‘The Apprentice’, starring Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong and Maria Bakalova, details how a young Donald Trump rose to prominence in New York City as real estate developer in the 1970’s and ‘80’s. However, the filmmakers struggled to secure funding and questioned whether U.S. audiences would ever get to see it. In this episode, the film’s director opens up about how it eventually got made and explains why he isn’t afraid to humanize the former president and his notorious former lawyer and fixer, Roy Cohn. 

Guest: Ali Abbasi
