'The Apprentice' Film Faces Backlash Ahead of Release

The controversial Trump biopic explores the former president's early years and his relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn.

The film, directed by Ali Abbasi, dramatizes Donald Trump's rise in the 1980s New York real estate scene under mentor Roy Cohn.
Critics highlight the movie's unflattering portrayal of Trump, including scenes of alleged personal and financial misconduct.
Trump's campaign has condemned the film as 'malicious defamation' and attempted to block its release.
Despite initial reluctance from major distributors, Briarcliff Entertainment acquired the film for theatrical release.
The film's producers launched a Kickstarter campaign to support its distribution, following challenges in securing studio backing.
