Welcome to the Following Films podcast! I\'m Chris Maynard, your host. Today, I had the chance to sit down with Christoffer Guldbrandsen director of the documentary film\\xa0 A STORM FORETOLD.

\\n

A STORM FORETOLD is centered on Roger Stone. With a colossal cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth, a libation in hand, and an unmistakable disdain for his political adversaries, Roger Stone emerges as the quintessential ally to Donald Trump. Revered as a right-wing powerbroker, Stone\'s influential journey traces back to the era of President Nixon, a legacy inked onto his own back. If you haven\\u2019t seen it, do a Google search for Roger Stone Nixon tattoo, its a sight to behold. In a film marked by unparalleled access, the film captures the tumultuous final months of the Trump administration, centering on the heart of power and climaxing with the unprecedented storming of Congress.

Our director and occasional voice of reason, finds himself amidst the chaos as Trump supporters converge on Washington, witnessing firsthand Roger Stone\'s strategic retreat from his hotel suite as the \'Stop the Steal\' campaign spirals into a riot. A Storm Foretold \\u2013 unfolds the narrative of a once-established political party metamorphosing into an anti-democratic movement, where impassioned rhetoric evolves into tangible violence.

Before our conversation with Christoffer, I would like to thank our sponsor, Bookmans, an independent bookstore that believes in the magic of storytelling and the cinematic arts.
