À propos de cet audio
‘If they showed this film on a plane, people would still walk out.’
As Melania, the documentary about the US First Lady, opened at the weekend, this line seemed to capture the feelings of critics.
But, like so many things in Trumpland, even this line of criticism may not be all that it appears.
On Free State today Dion and Joe look at what the Melania documentary tells us about the court of Donald Trump.
Amazon has invested $75 million in the documentary, money they will never get back, at least not through the box office.
But what is really at play here? A movie that is panned by the critics is not the story. A movie that flatters the sun king Trump and enriches his family has other advantages. This is how America works. The question is how will anyone stop it?
