This world premiere screening at the prestigious festival will be followed by the SHOWTIME premiere of the film on Friday, February 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on-air, On Demand and the SHOWTME streaming service.  The film was produced by the team behind The Circus on SHOWTIME. The announcement was made today by David Nevins, President and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc., at the 2017 Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour.

With an incredible treasure trove of never-before-seen footage secured during the making of THE CIRCUS, the documentary will follow the rise of Donald Trump, from the primaries through the debates, to the dramatic election night results.

TRUMPED: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL UPSET OF ALL TIME is produced by Left/Right, a part of Red Arrow Entertainment Group.
