Controversial documentary by alumnus sees record sales

September 9, 2012

In a documentary arguing that President Barack Obama's policies are the result of strong anti-colonialist sentiments, former Dartmouth Review Editor-in-Chief and conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza '83 has transitioned into the film world with his release of the controversial "2016: Obama's America," which has become the highest grossing conservative documentary of all time. The film, which was released on July 13 and has since made $26 million, posits that in contrast to the American dream, "Obama's dream" is born out of his father's anti-colonialist mentality and will result in catastrophic policy positions, according to New York Times reviewer Stanley Fish. In the film, D'Souza visits multiple countries to conduct research, which includes an interview with the president's half-brother, George Obama. Based on D'Souza's 2010 book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage," the documentary relies heavily on unproven and controversial theories, according to College Democrats President Mason Cole '13. "The movie really avoided the policy issues," Cole said.
