Film producer Gerald R. Molen, best known for his Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Schindler's List," was so impressed with the premise for a movie aimed at showing how President Obama's past life has influenced his political worldview that he did something for the first time in his 55-year career: He produced a documentary.
"Obama's America 2016," which is currently a limited release, examines the question: "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?"
This film is based on two books authored by conservative activist Dinesh D'Souza. One book, The Roots of Obama's Rage (2010), looks at the president's past and the other, Obama's America (released later this month), is about a "look into the future," D'Souza said. Whether the film will be a game-changer in this year's presidential election remains to be seen. However, many of those who have viewed the documentary-style movie are deeply moved, D'Souza told CP recently.
Molen considers himself a fiscal hawk conservative and knew about D'Souza before meeting with him to discuss the making of the movie. He highly respects D'Souza's intellect and fortitude as an immigrant becoming successful in America.
The film shows D'Souza "immersed in exotic locales across four continents" as he "races against time to find answers to Obama's past and reveal where America will be in 2016."
