Following in the footsteps of the award-winning You've Been Trumped, director Anthony Baxter follows American billionaire Donald Trump and a cast of other greedy characters as they attempt to turn some of the world's most precious natural resources into golf courses and playgrounds for the super rich. They bully local residents, influence governments, ignore local referendums, and even meddle in national environmental policies in order to acquire their latest trophies, which can be found everywhere from the historic city of Dubrovnik to the ancient sand dunes and rolling green hills of the seaside town of Balmedie, in the Adriatic Sea. Our understanding of how destructive these golf courses can be to the surrounding countryside and water levels is further enhanced by in-depth interviews and Baxter's expert storytelling.

Will their efforts, however, be sufficient to safeguard their land and traditional way of life?
