America

Conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza follows his 2012 documentary 2016: Obama's America with an America of his own. Mixing documentary footage, interviews and re-enactments ranging from the American Revolution and the Lincoln-Douglas debates to the career of African-American cosmetics tycoon Madam C.J. Walker and Hillary Clinton's high-school years, D'Souza offers a rightist critique of the leftist critique of American history, with a ringing endorsement of entrepreneurial capitalism. All in all, it's a fairly lucid polemic—at least until D'Souza goes off on a tangent about “Obamacare”; at that point, your interest will rise or fall with your sympathies on that issue. Interestingly, D'Souza doesn't gloss over his own conviction for campaign-finance violation—but he doesn't spend a lot of time on it, either.
