Dinesh D’Souza’a Obama 2016 is out on DVD. It has no special features, but I would recommend purchasing it if you didn’t see the movie. During its theatrical release earlier this year it earned a stunning 33,000,000 which is fantastic box office for a documentary. Here is my review which I originally posted on September 2 after seeing the film in a theater:
My family and I went to see the documentary Obama 2016 yesterday. The documentary is based on Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage which posits that the key to understanding Obama is that he is motivated by the same anti-colonial ideology that motivated his Kenyan father. I disagreed with his thesis, so I was uncertain whether I would enjoy the movie. Read below for my review of the film. The usual spoiler alert applies.
We saw the movie in Kankakee, Illinois at the Paramount Theater. I was surprised that over 200 people were present at the 1:00 PM showing which was astounding for a documentary in a relatively small community like the Kankakee-Bradley-Bourbonnais area. The crowd was rather a good deal more serious than most movie going crowds. They were obviously there to learn as well as to be entertained.

I downloaded my HD version from iTunes. It’s a first rate version.
What, no Blu-ray?
I watched it on Pay For View.
The film is also available On-Demand to many cable subscribers. I wouldn’t have known that if a family member didn’t tell me, because it is not being promoted at all (no surprise there).
For those of you who have an On-Demand service through your cable company, you can watch the film that way. I believe you have 48 hours to watch it from the time you place the order.
I’m not trying to sell the film to anyone, even though I did learn a lot from it. I just want people who might not already know that the film could be available to you right now.
Is it on Netflix?

It’s too new to be on Netflix, but Dreams From My Real Father IS on there.
I believe I paid $4.99 to watch 2016 through my cable company’s On-Demand service.
If you want to dig deeper into the box office numbers for 2016:

DirecTv is showing it on PPV, it will be on ch. 190 tomorrow.
Interestingly, the show just above it in the guide view (ch. 187) is Chernobyl Diaries....two shows about disasters side-by-side.
Out of curiosity - has the imposition of sales taxes on Amazon merchandise reduced the amount of stuff you buy through Amazon (vs other internet or local businesses)?
It is available on Netflix with a very long wait.
“It is available on Netflix with a very long wait.”
I apologize for saying it’s not available on Netflix yet. I only subscribe to the streaming service and actually forgot all about the DVD service. My mistake.
This movie is available FREE. That’s right FREE through my On Demand button on my cable service. YMMV
A must see, great movie.
Flying out of the warehouse at Amazon, #1 on the best selling DVD list:
Needs to be shown on the alphabet channels during prime time.
We already know what’s up.
This one is also good, I would recommend it as well:

Purchased a copy thru Amazon for time capsule inclusion.
If history is rewritten of these times, my g-children and gg-children must know what happened during these times.
