Every family has a weird uncle. Just ask Fred C. Trump III about his Uncle Donald. Fred never asked for any of this.

The divisive politics. The endless headlines. A hijacked last name. But as Donald Trump slouches towards the White House – again – Fred is breaking his decades-long silence.

His story is as nuanced as it is revealing: a tale of money, dynastic American power, and the unshakeable bonds of family.

Fred advocates on behalf of people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, like his 25 year-old son William.

In a Canberra Writers Festival exclusive Fred joins us live from the US to discuss his complex family legacy and the cause that gives him strength.

An unmissable conversation, hosted by Fran Kelly.
