Also stars Academy & Golden Globe Award Nominee Maria Bakalova as Ivana Zelníčková/Ivana Trump and Martin Donovan as Fred Trump Senior.
Producers: Daniel Bekerman for Scythia Films (Canada), Jacob Jarek for Profile Pictures (Denmark), Ruth Treacy and Julianne Forde for Tailored Films (Ireland), Ali Abbasi and Louis Tisné for Film Institute (Denmark)
