Film Independent in partnership with Women in Film invite you to join us for a special advance screening of The Apprentice, followed by an in-person conversation with actor Maria Bakalova and executive producer Amy Baer, moderated by Kirsten Schaffer (CEO, Women in Film). Director Ali Abbasi will also join for the film’s introduction.
A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé – someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. The Apprentice is directed by award-winning Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi (Academy Award nominee; European Film Award winner, Border; Cannes Best Actress Winner, Holy Spider).
From Briarcliff Entertainment and Rich Spirit, The Apprentice will be released on October 11.
