- Synopsis:
'2016: Obama's America' takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office, to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" In 2008, people in America – and across the globe – hungered for a leader who would unite us and lift us out of economic turmoil and war. True to America's ideals, we invested our hopes in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What we didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him - who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.
Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza races against time to find answers to Obama's past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey, he discovers how "Hope" and "Change" became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind's greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires and into America's empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations, as well as the shape of the global future.

More about the guy presenting than about Obama - 2016: Obama's America review by CP Customer
Maybe I didnt look into the content enough in advance but had to stop watching the film after 25 minutes as it felt a bit contrived and the guy presenting it kept talking about what he and Obama had in common such as getting married the same year etc. That really is of no interest to me as the presenter was not of interest to me and also he was from the Reagan administration which did not instil confidence in me about his angle. It felt like the presenter had alot of pet theories about Obama and his own agenda. Not great and probably a bit late in the day to be watching this given how th8ngs have unfolded since. Will consider my selections more carefully in future. Who knows the remaining hour of the film may have been great but I doubted it.
