How to watch 'A Storm Foretold' online: Stream the U.S. political doc from anywhere

The full title of this astonishing political film is "A Storm Foretold: Roger Stone and Die" and that is, in part, a reference to threats received by the filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen and the fact that, then 49, the stress of the project caused him to have a heart attack while on the phone trying to raise finance after Stone suddenly denied him access. You could call it a high stakes documentary.

Here's how to watch "A Storm Foretold" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

"Jaw-dropping" and "no-holds-barred" are just two descriptions you will find alongside reviews of "A Storm Foretold: Roger Stone and Die". It was filmed in the three years up to the 2020 election, which Joe Biden won, and captured the subsequent storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6. During that time Stone granted access, pulled it when another documentary team approached him, and then agreed to co-operate once again.

Stone had been arrested on charges including witness tampering, obstruction of justice and making false statements to Congress as part of the investigation into election interference in 2016 but then President Trump moved to commute his 40-month sentence and eventually gave him a full pardon.

The filmmaker ultimately benefited indirectly from this political maneuvering in so much as it allowed him to finish his documentary. Below, we'll show you how to watch "A Storm Foretold" from anywhere.

'A Storm Foretold' FAQ

Has "A Storm Foretold" had any impact in the U.S.?

As Guldbrandsen was with Stone from 2018 through to the 2020 election, and beyond, he managed to capture many unguarded moments on film including Stone saying: “I really do suspect [the 2020 election] will still be up in the air [as final returns come in]. When that happens, the key thing to do is to claim victory. Possession is nine-tenths of the law.” Consequently, this footage was subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. It also established a connection between a key Trump ally (Stone) and Joe Biggs (leader of neo-fascist group Proud Boys).
