Directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi, it stars Sebastian Stan as the young Trump. At its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it earned a standing ovation and threats of lawsuits from the Trump election campaign. The director sits down with culture editor Eve Jackson to discuss the challenges of making Donald Trump's origin story.
