The filmmaker was referring to the president's controversial comments last year in which he said both sides were responsible for clashes that broke out during the rally.

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said at a press conference after the clashes.

One person was killed in the clashes, which took place after white nationalists protested the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Trump later doubled down on his assertion, citing the "alt-left."

“What about the alt-left that came charging at the — as you say, the alt-right?” Trump asked. “Do they have any semblance of guilt? What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I am concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day.”

The comments drew praise from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
