“America” is a dramatic and powerful movie about America’s heritage. Filmmaker, Writer and Director, Dinesh D’Souza, an immigrant from India, makes a strong case for America being a harbor, and not a thief, as he shares the theories of various past authors and figures that claimed America had stolen all of its land. He shares various historical facts, such as the island of Manhattan, when purchased, was not the Manhattan that it is today, and that Americans built it up to become the Metropolis it is today and that wealth was created, not stolen. He clearly shows that over 300,000 Union soldiers died so that slaves could taste freedom, and that there were actually many black slave owners at the time of the Civil War. He makes no excuses for slavery or cruelty but makes the case that people such as Abraham Lincoln, and many soldiers, fought for the right of the slaves to be free. He boldly deals with various issues head-on, including the historical facts surrounding Native Americans. He looks at many sides of various issues.

He shows that America is not the America it used to be but hopes that it can become the nation it once was under such leaders as Washington, Lincoln, and in more modern times, President Reagan. This is a movie that every American should see! It will stimulate thinking and will encourage Americans everywhere to hold on to their freedoms. Make no mistake about it, some will consider it “controversial”. One observer speaks about the importance of Christianity in our nation’s history. We are pleased to award “America” the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages twelve plus. This movie will make you feel good about the land you live in, despite the vast problems and struggles we face.
