TRUMPED BY MUSIC!
On July 24th, TRUMPED BY MUSIC announced an open call for anti-Trump musicians to submit music videos to be featured on www.trumpedbymusic.com
It didn't take long for TRUMPED BY MUSIC it to create quite a storm in the Netherlands.

The 6 weeks before the election on Nov 3, film makers David Grover (US) and Frank van Osch (the Netherlands) will post short films with song segments and interviews with their favorite anti-Trump singer/songwriters.
In order to raise funds for this online documentary series, they launched a crowdfunding campaign, supported by a provincial governmental program. Somehow the local Dutch press got wind of this small campaign and associated government support and ran an article about it.
The reason for the press interest was a complaint from the PVV (Party For Freedom), which is one of the extreme rightwing parties in the Netherlands.
And so this little hurricane was born. The PVV has sent an official inquiry to the provincial government. It can be a fine line between activism and art, and the Dutch discussions in the upcoming weeks will draw that line.
To be continued. For now, the TRUMPED BY MUSIC Team is looking for any musicians that might like to be profiled!
