The Movie is called simply "2016" and scheduled for wide release, tommorow August 10. It is Dinesh D'Souza's expose of who Barack Obama really is, what he stands for, and the dangers of him being re-elected for another four years.
"2016" is from Gerald R. Molen, producer of Academy Award winning, Schindler's List, Jurrasic Park and Brave Heart.

A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I asked him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George's son was indeed ill. So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union. He was profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked George, "Why are you coming to me?" He said, "I have no one else to ask." Then he said something that astounded me, "Dinesh, you are like a brother to me."
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be the president of the United States. (George Obama is the youngest of eight children sired by Barack Obama Sr.) George's brother is a multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world. Moreover, George's brother has framed his re-election campaign around the "fair share" theme that we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.One of Obama's favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: "We are our brother's keeper." Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of emergency, that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.Before I hung up I asked George, "Why are you coming to me?" He said, "I have no one else to ask." Then he said something that astounded me, "Dinesh, you are like a brother to me."So much for spreading the wealth around.Obama's refusal to help George is especially surprising because George doesn't just live in American-style poverty but rather in Third World poverty. He lives in a shanty in the Huruma slum in Nairobi. He gets by on a few dollars a month. Obama also has an aunt named Hawa Auma, his father's sister, who ekes out a living selling coal on the streets of a small village in Kenya. She says she would like to have her teeth fixed, but she cannot afford it. Obama hasn't offered to help her either.What's going on here? Why is President Obama so hesitant to help family members in need?A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist Damien Lewis and the two of them published George's story in a book called Homeland. Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book's publication in America, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than 20,000 copies. Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from Simon & Schuster but to no avail. He now suspects that the White House convinced Simon & Schuster that George's story might prove embarrassing to the president.In 2010, George also applied for a visa to come to the United States and was refused. While George confesses that in his younger years he was a delinquent, he has never been convicted of any crime. Moreover, he has a very good reason to visit the United States: his mother Jael Otieno lives in Atlanta. So why would the U. S. embassy in Nairobi refuse a tourist visa to the brother of the president who just wants to spend time with his mother?
Dinesh D'Souza, narrator and co-director of the film "2016 - Obama's America," is also the author of the new book "Obama's America: Unmaking the American Dream," published this week by Regnery.

I have been urging everyone I know to see the movie.
And so yesterday, one of my friends sent this email which is one of the best reivews I've seen.....
I went to see a movie last night mostly because my older sister has been insisting that I had to see 2016 Obama’s America. And mostly because I knew she would be calling and scolding me if I didn’t go.
I must confess a few things… I never go to movies, and I’ve never gone to see a movie alone. But I had no choice last night. None of my friends was available and I actually had time to go when there was a showing. Another “first” last night was that there was a police helicopter circling in the skies for at least ten minutes and there were TWO police vehicles parked in front of the place. Well, Batman was one of the films featured.
I fully expected the movie to be full of hate Obama stuff and I’m rather tired of that and I fully expected it to be a rehash of Dinesh D’Souza’s article from Forbes some two years ago. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0927/politics-socialism-capitalism-private-enterprises-obama-business-problem.html So I didn’t expect anything new.
I was wrong.
This is a true documentary, a very well researched thesis. You might not agree with his conclusions, but one must admit that D’Souza did his homework. He went on site to Indonesia and walked in the footsteps of the Soetero’s, interviewed people there who knew Obama’s mother.. Jane Dewey, daughter of philosopher John Dewey was one of her anthropology professors and corroborated d’souza’s contention that Ann Dunam always held up his Kenyan father to her child as a role model. D’Souza culled innumerable references of the couple’s life there from Obama’s writings and found the place very similar to the 3rd world society he’d left behind in his own birthplace, India.
He also visited Kenya and interviewed Obama’s brother, a most striking young man who makes surprising observances about the deplorable condition of his country. He observes that Kenya gained independence and unlike places like India and Korea that embraced capitalism, Kenyans are busy fighting each other and are still steeped in poverty. He also interviewed a matriarch in the family, one of his father’s relatives and both educated and folksy people who knew Obama’s father. The Kenyans who knew the man give genuine insights into his father’s dreams whether you like them or not. I found myself agreeing with some of their unfavorable remarks on U.S. foreign policy, especially about the Middle East. Lastly d’Souza visited Hawaii where he explores deep resentment of U.S. colonialism there, something I’d never even heard of, and then he dives into his home life on the island with his maternal grandparents and his “founding fathers” and his college years. There’s lots of research everywhere.. and it’s always corroborated from Obama’s own writings. I found it very interesting and learned many things I never knew. D’souza concludes with a very dismal forecast of what Americans can expect if Obama is re-elected in November and the admonition that only you (the viewer) can make a difference.
Well, I doubt I can make a difference even though I faithfully go to the polls and cast my vote. I feel it’s in God’s hands. But I’m glad I went to see the movie. I see a similarity between Barak Obama and the man who has charmed most of the voters of my second country, Venezuela, and for whom all the (her...family name...) voted 13 years ago. Today all but three of them detest the man. But it’s too late. Obama’s 2004 address to the Democratic Convention was absolutely charming. Who wouldn’t want a president like that? So he won the presidency. Today people either love him or hate him. Similarly, in spite of his cancer and his destruction of the Venezuelan economy, Chavez is slated to be the winner of the presidential elections in October and Venezuelans either love him or hate him. There’s no in-between. I urge everyone to go see d’Souza’s movie because it’s well done; there’s something in it for everyone. Nobody knew all these things about Obama when he ran for office in ‘08, nor do we know them now. And in order to make a truly informed decision, we need to know these things. It’s too bad the movie didn’t come out in 2008. I fear it’s four years too late and that D’Souza is preaching to the choir.

On his official campaign website, the Barack Obama team attacks the film 2016 as a "deliberate distortion" citing discredited AP story.
Dinesh responded:"Their original strategy was to lie low and hope this goes away, but now they're launching a full-scale attack, and this is one of the most bizarre, clumsy and ineffective attacks I have seen in politics ... The four alleged errors in the White House critique are bogus. There are no errors in the film."
Breitbart noted:“President George W. Bush remained silent as a steady stream of documentaries attacked both him and his administration during his eight years in office. Bush quietly acknowledged the filmmakers' right to speak their minds, ignored their cinematic attacks and kept on working. President Barack Obama, in comparison, simply couldn't sit still while "2016: Obama's America" continues to smash box office records.”
Producer Gerald Molen has been attacked by the media claiming the film is "fundamentally racist" Gerald wrote an opinion piece on Town Hall and urges us to repond to these attacks:
"I'm calling on all fair-minded Americans to respond to this hate-speech with the most effective tools they have: their feet, and, oh yes, their social networks. I hope they will send a message to liberal film critics by going back to the theater to watch 2016-this time with friends, and refuse to be bullied or kowtowed into silence."
Dinesh D'Souza wrote an article asking 'Why did Obama use the N-word to describe his grandfather?"
"... So what could possibly cause the president to describe his own grandfather in this appalling way? The answer, it turns out, provides an important insight into Obama's character. The president is not the healer and unifier that he said he was four years ago. Rather, he views people who disagree with him-including members of his own family-in terms of ideological kinship or betrayal. And by Obama's standard, even his own grandfather is an ideological sellout deserving of insults and abuse..."Read more
