America: Imagine the World Without Her

Interviews are thought-provoking. Unrevealed insights into American history gives significant context to our present day. Had no idea that there were so many black slave owners in the 1800's. Also, had no idea the first female millionaire in America was a black woman. I like how both sides of the coin are interviewed, not just one side to fit a political agenda. However, I thought covering the NSA was a bit out of place and didn't fit in well. I also thought more time could have been spent on our present administration. Regardless of your political affiliation, put your political ideology aside for a day and take a deeper look in to what you believe and how you believed it.

Dinesh D'Souza hit another homerun with his new political documentary America. Within the solitude of an empty theater I watched D'Souza's presentation as he knocked down the walls of revisionist history which is the currency of so many who lean to the left. D'Souza challenges the audience to understand the consequences if certain historical events had moved in another direction. This is exemplified by the British winning the Revolutionary War and Germany developing nuclear weapons before America obtained them. Prevailing teachings on slavery are expanded setting aside numerous untruths utilized by those who sell racism for a living. Acknowledging that America's westward movement was done by conquest he displays how its former inhabitants accrued their lands in a similar fashion. America provides a glimpse of many lives that became fruitful by hard work and perseverance as opposed to the entitlement mentality which is prevalent throughout the country. President Lincoln is held in high regard for successfully managing a war that changed the face and texture of this nation. As a leader facing a divided country the question of slavery was finally put to rest under his tutelage. Lincoln is portrayed as person who mends political fences as opposed to President Obama whose actions are antithetically the opposite. Interviews with those who overcame extreme adversity flesh out the reasons why so many risk so much to cross our borders. Especially noteworthy was D'Souza's ability to put a face on those who are affected by Obama's irrational policies. A point is a made noting the substance of current legislative efforts is a fraudulent attempt to undermine every institution, industry and tradition which has brought strength to this nation. D'Souza is intent on telling a story how progressives destroy instead of build leaving conservatives to take the blame when the worst possible outcomes occur. America raises the bar on political documentaries by presenting complex subject matter in a comprehensible format. D'Souza has brought America home. This movie will change the way you think about this nation and yourself. A must see. Mark Davis MD, President of Davis Writing Services.

I saw this documentary film two days ago thinking it would be a nice start to the July 4th weekend. I was very pleased with the way Dinesh organized the film and structured it in a way that was entertaining and informative. Even though I consider myself to be fairly well-read on US History, I learned some things from this film.

It was nice to see that at least some people in this country are not afraid to speak their minds about history and take controversial issues head-on. This direct approach is something you rarely see in true propaganda films, which happen to be mostly revisionist and slightly biased. Dinesh handles some weighty issues with class and an obviously insightful, organized approach.

The film was very well done and kept a nice flow throughout. There was nice mix of documentary interviews/narrative with more movie-like animation and computer-generated visuals. There was some humor and some drama interspersed.

This is something every American should watch.

Dinesh D'Souza is a man who obviously loves and admires this country and it shows in his work here. He presents a series of criticisms or "indictments" against this country - particularly concerning our past history. Then he counters this with arguments about the many good things about our country, and how important we are to the rest of the world. This is done through a series of interviews, news clips and some historical re-enactments. I found it fascinating to watch and learned some history that I was not aware of. My only criticism is that it was a bit long, particularly towards the end. But I think it's an important film that everyone should see, and that it would make them appreciate our wonderful country even more.

100 years ago my Irish Grandparents made the sail across the Atlantic Ocean to come to this great country...and our eyes filled with tears several times during the negative comments from the people that hate her.

We knew that America was a special land because of everyone that had arrived before us and told us how beautifully rich the land was and about all the opportunity and freedoms abound.

This movie exemplifies and echoes the reasons and passionate feelings we still have today. Both of our Grandfathers an Fathers served our country with honor in the military and it irritates me when anyone says anything negative about the most benevolent country in the world.

If you don't like America leave...you will NOT find a better country.
