Downfall

A gripping account of the final chapter in Trump’s extraordinary presidency.

A gripping final instalment of the acclaimed Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú series The Trump Show. This film charts Donald Trump’s last months as president as he attempts to win, and subsequently overturn, the results of the 2020 election – culminating in scenes of violent ‘insurrection’ against the US Congress.

Friends, advisers and close observers tell the story of Trump’s last days, from packed rallies - held as coronavirus besieges America - to riots on Capitol Hill. The film provides a blow-by-blow account of the final weeks of his administration - and a gripping psychological study of the controversial leader’s final days in power.
