WATCH: Arab-American Filmmaker Produces Comedy of how a President Trump will “Make America Great”
Arab-American Filmmaker Raouf Zaki has launched a short-film, Make America Great (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-8Xvq7hbaQ), that offers a glimpse into a dystopian future where Donald Trump becomes president. Showcased in the film is the ban on Muslims, the continued disrespect towards women and the Great Wall of America.
“The sheer surreality of the film mirrors the actuality of the current Trump craze with ideas coming directly from his speeches and tweets,” says writer, producer, and director Raouf Zaki. “Even though this is a comedy, it’s also a horrific vision of the days to come if Trump becomes President. If we could just see the future, sometimes we can prevent it. This is what inspired Make America Great.”
This project was jump-started and finished in just 5 filming days with a talented group of actors playing multiple roles including Donald and Melania Trump, Chris Christie, Hillary Clinton and even Vladimir Putin. All of the film’s dialogue consists of rhyme and is centered around the slogan “Make America Great”.
