A new documentary about Donald Trump's controverial golf course in the north east of Scotland has been aired in the US in the run up to the Presidential election.

You've Been Trumped Too is the third film about the tycoon and Republican candidate for the presidency made by director Anthony Baxter, and continues the story of the story of the aggrieved neighbours, and particularly their problems with their water supply, after the building of the Trump International Golf Links at the Menie Estate, Balmedie, Aberdeen.

It was premiered last night at the AMC Loews cinema on 34th Street in the shadow of Trump Tower, New York.

The film follows the Forbes family, especially 92-year-old Molly Forbes, and their broken water supply, caused when a pipe from a well was damaged during the construction of the controversial luxury golf course.

As the row over the water supply, and who should fix it, Mrs Forbes is shown having to gather water from a local stream using pots and wheelbarrow.

The film's ending notes that the Trump project could expand and Aberdeenshire Council has not ruled out the use of compulsory purchase orders to remove homes that lie in the way of such an expansion, if it should go ahead.

The film also shows Michael Forbes, the son of Mrs Forbes, travelling to the US to witness the Republican convention held in Cleveland, Ohio, and his discussions with Trump supporters and others about the controversial candidate.

Baxter, who is currently working on a new film about the pollution in the water supplies in Flint, Michigan, said he is working on a deal to make the film more widely available to a US audience on the internet.

It will open in UK cinemas on November 3 at the Filmhouse in Aberdeen.

Mr Baxter, whose film You've Been Trumped was released in 2011, said it was up to the American people who they vote for in the forthcoming US election.

However he said: "Anything could happen, the polls show Hillary Clinton [the Democrat candidate] leading at the moment but we know how quickly these things can change, and it doesn't take much.

"The really worrying thing about Trump becoming President is essentially what I can really talk about, which is through the lense of the Scottish experience.

"I've always thought that the Scottish story and the Menie Estate story is a microcosm of what could be unleashed on the world if Trump was ever in such a powerful position, and had the most powerful job in the world.

"And in many respects, we would just see a repeat of that, but on a massive scale, we would see the continuing of bullying, the continuing harrassment, the continuing failure to deliver on promises.

"We see how people have been swept up by his rhetoric, and swept up by his pledges to make life better - Make America Great Again - but if you look at how he said he was going to build the greatest goldf course in the world, and then you go down to Molly and Michael's house and you find they don't have running water, and they are living this daily life of not knowing what is going to happen next, it certainly hasn't been great for them.

"So going and getting the film out there to American voters is about trying to say: look it's your decision, but as a film maker and journalist it would be great to see if we could get this film out to you so you could see this side of the man you are considering voting for."

Mr Baxter said he was hoping the film would be available online before the US presidential vote on November 8.

A statement from Trump International Golf Links said: "We have repeatedly refuted the allegations regarding the Forbes water supply.

"Molly Forbes’ son, Michael Forbes, is the joint owner of an antiquated, make-shift ‘well’ located on Trump land, the maintenance and operation of which is not the responsibility of the company. His mother lives in a caravan next to his house and relies on his water supply.

"The ‘well’, is shared with another neighbouring property owner, who will confirm that their water system has historically been unreliable and fraught with problems, long before Trump owned the land.

"Five years ago, an unknown, underground clay pipe was unintentionally disrupted by our lead contractor and was repaired immediately.

"The neighbour who shares the ‘well’ with Forbes can attest that his water supply was only temporary affected and rectified fully within a few days."

The statement adds that Mr and Mrs Forbes have rejected an offer to be connected to mains water.

In the documentary, Mr Forbes fixes the supply to his house and his mother's himself.
