Director Christoffer Guldbrandsen exposes the turbulent legacy of former Trump adviser Roger Stone. 'A Storm Foretold' depicts three years of Roger Stone's partnership with the former president, including the fallout from the 2020 election and subsequent events on January 6, 2021. Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says this documentary is a 'fascinating' political piece aided by the ongoing case against Donald Trump.

Donald Trump pled not guilty to four charges against him in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result. The most recent charges allege his false claims on voter fraud sparked the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. A key figure of the Stop The Steal campaign was former adviser Roger Stone, who filmmaker Christoffer Gulbrandsen examined in A Storm Foretold- now in theatres for the NZIFF. "It's very difficult to say where Roger Stone begins and where Donald Trump ends, and vice versa. These two have been friends for nearly 40 years, and it is Stone who has developed Trump's unique brand." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
