QUICK TAKE:
Documentary: Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza addresses what he observes is the growing criticisms from within America that the country is a racist, imperialist evil that needs to have its history rewritten and its future charted anew.
PLOT:
Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza follows up his documentary, "2016: Obama's America," with an equally inflammatory film in which he attempts to answer a list of the most common indictments of the United States. They range from the country's wealth and prosperity resulting from the stealing of land from Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans brought to the country in chains to its conduct on the world change in overthrowing foreign governments and putting in place leaders who will advance its imperial agenda.

D'Souza starts off the film pondering what the world would be like without America. What would have happened if a sniper's bullet killed George Washington during the Revolutionary War? What would the world map look like if Adolf Hitler had got the atomic bomb first? And so forth. The last third of the film is an open indictment of President Obama's second term in the White House and the possibility that liberals' so-called "shame narrative" will be advanced even further if Hillary Clinton is elected the next President.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Older, politically-motivated teens may have some interest.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For violent images.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
