2016: Obama's America is a 2012 American political documentary film written and directed by Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan. The film is based on D'Souza's books The Roots of Obama's Rage and Obama's America: Unmasking the American Dream, which are both, like the film, right-wing polemics against then-president Barack Obama. Through interviews and reenactments, the film compares the similarities of the lives of D'Souza and Obama, as D'Souza alleges that early influences on Obama were affecting his domestic policy decisions.
2016: Obama's America was released in the United States by Rocky Mountain Pictures on July 13, 2012, months before the 2012 United States presidential election, in which Obama was running for his second term. The film was received negatively by critics; reviewers described the film as politically partisan and as "a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination", unlikely to sway undecided voters or Obama supporters.[3] Additionally, it grossed $33.4 million in the domestic box office.[2][4]
