The Accomplice

The Apprentice was a hit reality TV show that inflated Donald Trump's business acumen and created a celebrity persona that carried him all the way to the White House. So, after his followers raided the Capitol and he did nothing, I remixed a few boardroom scenes to show Republican senators afraid to impeach how even Trump would fire Trump.

Director Statement

In the immediate aftermath of the January 6th attack on the capital, I felt angry and powerless and so made The Accomplice as a form of catharsis and wish fulfillment.
