The conservative behind "2016: Obama's America" is under indictment for campaign finance violations but his next doc will open on schedule on July 4, filmmakers say.
The filmmakers behind Dinesh D'Souza's upcoming doc have vowed to press on while their star defends himself after his indictment on federal charges that he violated campaign finance laws in 2012. On Sunday, they released a trailer for the movie, America, that is set for release on July 4. OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS
'2016: Obama's America' Filmmaker Claims 'Libel' Over Accusations of Marital Infidelity
Oscar-Winning Producer of 'The Godfather Part II' Joins Dinesh D'Souza's Next Film
Dinesh D'Souza Released on $500,000 Bond America is the follow-up to the surprise hit 2016: Obama's America, which earned $33 million in 2012 and became the second most popular political documentary in history, behind Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, which earned $119 million in 2004. In America, D'Souza -- who wrote and produced the film -- makes the claim that 1960s radical leftism is more or less indistinguishable from current mainstream liberalism, a doctrine that he says preaches the United States is the product of "stealing and plunder" from Native Americans, Mexicans and African-American slaves. "I want to take this progressive, leftist critique head on," D'Souza says in the trailer. The movie will include re-creations of some of the major events in American history. America is directed by John Sullivan and co-produced by Gray Frederickson, who won an Oscar for producing The Godfather Part II, and Gerald Molen, who won an Oscar for Schindler's List. D'Souza and Sullivan co-directed 2016: Obama's America.

D’Souza is being persecuted. He needs support.
D’Souza also interviewed Obama’s brother who was so poor he lived in a hut. I’m sure that annoyed Obots in govt and they wanted payback.
Didn’t he also give Obamas brother some money to pay for some medical treatment?
Right before Obama appointed the new US Attorney that is bringing the charges?
Hope he has good bodyguards, the Chicago Way don’tcha know.
Whatever it may be - it is GREAT PR for his next movie...
I want D’Souza to put Arpaio’s Obummer story on the big screen after “America.”
LOL! Thanks.
LOL! Thanks.
Dinesh should have known this administration only goes after LEGAL immigrants and Citizens...
Put the trailor on a thread of its own in activism??
Include a question whether its the reason for the arrest and 500,000 bail!
If we all spread it thru FR email and FB the arrest will be used to move the film forward
Thanks ;-)
My thoughts exactly.
I would think also that with an enormous amount of publicity, it might be difficult for the government to continue to selectively prosecute/persecute conservative donors. When it’s just some poor schmuck in Podunk that they go after, no one notices (even if he happens to be a local Republican mover and shaker), but when they go after someone like this with national prominence, that is going to be noticed.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Bump
What I find amazing is all the hostility to Obama in the readers’ comments, Hollywood Reporter?
My thought also.
