2016: Obama's America

2016: Obama's America is a 2012 American political documentary film by conservative author and political commentator Dinesh D'Souza. The film was produced by Doug Sain and Gerald R. Molen. D'Souza and John Sullivan co-directed and co-wrote the film, which is based on D'Souza's book The Roots of Obama's Rage (2010). Through interviews and reenactments, the film compares the similarities of the lives of D'Souza and President Barack Obama as D'Souza alleges that early influences on Obama are affecting his domestic policy decisions. The film was panned by critics; reviewers from Entertainment Weekly, Time, Variety and The New York Times described the film as politically partisan and as "a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination", unlikely to sway undecided voters or Obama supporters. The film was a box office success, grossing $33.4 million in the United States.
