Year 2024
Runtime 120 mins

A story about the origins of a system featuring larger-than-life characters and set in a world of power and ambition, THE APPRENTICE delves into a profound exploration of the ascent of an American dynasty. It meticulously charts the genesis of a "zero-sum" culture, one that accentuates the dichotomy between winners and losers, the dynamics between the mighty and the vulnerable, and the intricate psychology of persona.

From director Ali Abbasi, [HOLY SPIDER, CIFF 2022] comes the story of Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan, DUMB MONEY, CIFF 2023) and Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).
