Unfit Trailer
It's no coincidence that this film will be coming out in September as we head into the 2020 presidential election. However, the official website for the film explicitly states that the movie is not politically motivated. But as the site elaborates, what they really mean is "it does not advocate for policy issues or take a stance on matters of state." Furthermore, it is also not meant to "offer a formal diagnosis nor recommend treatment."
Instead, Unfit aims to show what those working in American politics see from Donald Trump every day, and how it impacts the welfare of Americans and the rest of the world. Though the documentary isn't meant to contain diagnosis or treatment, the filmmakers do speak to medical professionals about Trump's mental state and behavior, and their observations are beyond compelling.
The documentary's primary drive seems to be showing that Donald Trump is a "malignant narcissist." Check out their description of a malignant narcissist and see what you think:
The malignant narcissist is grandiose, with an inflated sense of accomplishment, and an excessive need for admiration. He is boastful, hypersensitive to criticism, arrogant, and envious. He is always ready to raise hostility levels, and uses deceit and manipulation. He transgresses social norms, and lacks moral conscience. He is preoccupied with perceived disloyalty, bearing grudges, quick to blame others, and prone to conspiracy theories. He is dehumanizing to people he perceives as weak, capable of taking glee in their misfortune
Unfit is directed by Dan Partland, who has worked on television documentaries such as The Sixties on CNN and American Race with Charles Barkley for TNT, as well as feature documentary films like A Perfect Candidate, Welcome to The Doll House, and The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack. Partland also produced with Art Horan, the executive producer of The Usual Suspects and ESPN's Ring Girls.
