By now Donald Trump has made so many racist and offensive comments that it’s hard to remember a time when it was surprising. But when the documentary F*** Your Hair begins, in June 2015, Trump has just launched his presidential campaign—and 5 Rabbit Cervecería, a Latin-inspired local brewery, is brewing a golden ale as the house beer for Rebar in Trump Tower Chicago. When Trump makes a speech in which he calls Mexican immigrants “rapists” and says they’re bringing drugs and crime to the U.S., 5 Rabbit owners Andrés Araya and Milagros Ramirez are suddenly faced with a dilemma. They no longer want to be associated with one of Trump’s businesses, but they have a contract—not to mention 50 kegs of ale already brewed for the account.
