Sundance Film Festival has added a documentary looking into Donald Trump’s astonishing presidential election victory to its 2017 line-up.

Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time comes from the people behind Showtime’s series on the election The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth.

Here’s the official synopsis, which given Trump’s infamous ‘grab ‘em by the pussy’ comments, presents the tantalising prospect of unseen footage of the President-elect.
