Film-maker Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s A Storm Foretold gives unsettling new insight into Donald Trump’s longtime ally
Democrat in contact with FBI after Roger Stone’s alleged death threat
Making a film about Roger Stone very nearly killed Christoffer Guldbrandsen and that, for once, is not a bit of Stone or Trump-style hyperbole.
Guldbrandsen’s 91-minute documentary A Storm Foretold takes a shocking swerve when CCTV footage shows him suffering a heart attack, losing consciousness and collapsing on the floor of a gym, where people rush to his aid. A heart surgeon who happened to be working out saved the Danish film-maker’s life.

It’s quiet for specialty openings after the holidays, in the thick of awards season. But one film needed this weekend — Abramorama documentary A Storm Foretold by Danish director Christoffer Guldbrandsen about the Maga movement and the Jan. 6 insurrection. The filmmaker captured footage over years of on-and-off access to Roger Stone.
It’s booked for over 20 rolling playdates in the next two weeks so far including the Quad Cinema in New York where Guldbrandsen will be holding Q&As all weekend.
Stone was former president Donald Trump’s closest political confidante and the film spans several years through Jan. 6, 2021. As Congress gathered that day to approve the election and declare Joe Biden the winner, less than a mile away, Donald Trump was urging a crowd to march towards the Capitol. Hours later, five people were killed and 141 wounded. With Stone as its central character, A Storm Foretold sees the storming...

“Saving Western civilisation is hard work,” complains Roger Stone, only half-jokingly, with that twinkle in his eyes that might make him easy to like if one were not the type to pay attention. Watching Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s documentary, one can feel the moments when the filmmaker is drawn to him despite knowing better. Stone has a companionable quality which makes the casual way in which he discards people who are no longer useful to him all the more painful. It never seems to have occurred to him that one day he might be on the receiving end.
Filmed during the dying days of Donald Trump’s presidency, the film is assembled from a mixture of interviews, observations and reflections on Guldbrandsen’s part, the latter made during those moments when he finds himself out in the cold. Stone is one of those people who likes to reassure himself of his own power by giving.

Back in September, Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison on “seditious conspiracy” charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, raid of the U.S. Capitol.
According to the Justice Department, the far-right group “played a central role in setting the January 6th attack on our Capitol into motion,” and as its leader, Tarrio created a special group within the militant organization called the Ministry of Self Defense that “established a chain of command, chose a time and place for their attack, and...

Exclusive: Abramorama has acquired North American distribution rights to A Storm Foretold, a documentary about Trump adviser Roger Stone that becomes more urgent as the 2024 presidential election inches closer with every passing day.
Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen directed the documentary, which is based on intimate access he gained to Stone over a sustained period beginning in 2018, in the middle of Trump’s presidency. He was with Stone right up through the 2020 election and he documented the self-described political dirty trickster’s attempts to sow doubts about the election results.
The U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack plays footage shot by Christoffer Guldbrandsen.
Interestingly, while that footage was screened in the context of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, A Storm Foretold has yet to be seen by American audiences. Guldbrandsen’s U.S. premiere, set for this past September at the Camden International Film Festival, was canceled after...

Danish filmmaker Cristoffer Guldbrandsen, director of the documentary A Storm Foretold, has been on a journey into the heart of darkness of American politics.
His voyage over several years put him in close contact with Trump whisperer Roger Stone, landed him in the middle of the Select Congressional Committee’s investigation into the January 6 insurrection, and, at one point, almost cost him his life.
Guldbrandsen says his mission began with a desire to understand what was going on in the U.S., formerly a paragon of democratic ideals that had tilted dangerously toward nationalism and authoritarianism under President Trump.

“That was my motivation was to try to understand it, to charge at it,” he tells Deadline. “The knee-jerk reaction was, ‘What is going on with the Americans?’ It’s obviously not my fight. I’m not a part of it, but there’s no question of what...

In recent years, self-proclaimed Trump svengali and pinstripe enthusiast Roger Stone has often been compared to DC Comics character the Penguin. Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s “A Storm Foretold,” a wild-ride doc that grants all-areas access to Stone over a three-year period starting with his 2019 indictment and subsequent pardon, suggests this is not strictly fair. For one thing, as the film begins, Stone is smoking the chunkiest cigar you have ever seen, rather than the more canonically acceptable cigarette holder wielded by the cartoon villain. For another, while Stone has more enemies that you can shake a fat stogie at, no single superhero has yet emerged to challenge him. If he is the Penguin, shouldn’t there also be a Batman?
Stone is introduced to us sitting on his back patio in relaxed, garrulous form. One would almost say “genial” except that from the start, Stone’s relationship with Guldbrandsen, who is...

Don’t expect to see Roger Stone at the Cph:dox premiere of “A Storm Foretold.”
In the documentary, directed by Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, Stone’s efforts to aid former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election are captured.
“(Roger) has threatened us with a $25 million lawsuit, and he’s called me fat,” says Guldbrandsen. “Right now, we are communicating through our lawyers.”
“A Storm Foretold” along with “Praying for Armageddon” and “Victim/Suspect” are three films screening at Cph:dox that explore America’s political, legal and cultural underbelly.
Guldbrandsen and cinematographer Frederik Marbell began filming Stone, Trump’s former advisor, in 2018. They followed the Republican kingmaker in the final months of the Trump administration, which culminated in the storming of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
(In 2022, the House committee investigation into the assault on the Capitol subpoenaed footage from Guldbrandsen and Marbell. Ultimately, the committee received approximately 10 minutes out...

More than four weeks into Russia’s disastrous war in Ukraine, and just one week after a court sentenced Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to nine years in a high-security prison, “Navalny” director Daniel Roher made a passionate plea on behalf of the jailed politician in Copenhagen, lashing out at the “murderous” regime of President Vladimir Putin and arguing that filmmakers must “pick a side” in an increasingly fractured and polarized world.
“There’s a right side of politics. And yes, filmmakers pick a side. Because you’re either on the side of morality and justice and rule of law and democracy, or you’re on the side of a murderous dictatorship that launches invasions of sovereign nations and murders children every day,” Roher said on Tuesday at the Copenhagen Intl.

Directors of films in the forthcoming BBC series Why Poverty? explain how they tackled the subject and what it taught them
Are Us billionaires destroying the American Dream? Can large-scale agricultural development have a positive effect in Africa? Are Bono and Bob Geldof actually doing any good? And can the history of human poverty over 10,000 years be told in less than 60 minutes? These and many other questions are being posed in a new series of documentaries and short films entitled Why Poverty? launching on Monday night on BBC1. The series, which will be screened in 180 countries including India, Zimbabwe and Brazil, aims to kick-start a global debate in the hope of addressing a broader question: why, in the 21st century, do a billion people live in poverty?
