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.
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 Hurricane Lee rolled up the Atlantic coast and knocked out power to the venue in Maine where the film was going to be shown.
His footage was so explosive Guldbrandesen wound up being subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Among other things, the committee took keen interest in a moment the director captured where Stone, in the days before the 2020 vote, said, “I really do suspect [the election] will still be up in the air [as final returns come in]. When that happens, the key thing to do is to claim victory. Possession is nine-tenths of the law.”
Guldbrandsen also recorded encounters between Stone and Joe Biggs, a leader of the Proud Boys, establishing visual proof of the connection between Stone and the neo-fascist group that took a leading role in the insurrection.
