This is a must watch movie about the beginning of the klu clux klan, Andrew Jackson and the tyranny of the south in living freely off the backs of abused black citizens? Sexual theft, viewing blacks as non-person’s, the generalization of their immanent threat to so called white people and our women? And not only were blacks generally attacked and murdered, also anyone that disagreed with the southern belief about slavery were also gunned down in public by masked fear oriented person’s?The democrats have been against the social alignment with the absolute for over 100 years? So called ghettos’ are an act of intentional deprivation of social character, and personality, by forceful obedience to voting for the democratic party? A very interesting portrayal of consciousness changes needed as to our world of human equation mind out of control in a rage of fear of immanent change that is presence now <3 :>). And as well a vivid expression of the republican party always being against slavery and for social justice as it were supposed to be? Look into the life of Saul Alinsky and his high school introduction to Hillary clinton and her using his methods to radically change American politics towards her agenda of free wealth? Even to the point of embezzling, usurping donation money’s through the clinton foundation, where not a dime is toward’s the donated purpose? Planned parenthood especially for the purpose of stopping non-white, and some stupid women from having children? There is a ton of consciousness data here needing to be absolutely understood<3 :>). The democrats have hindered the 13, 14, and 15th amendment’s giving blacks and women the right to vote and be heard? If anyone can’t figure out how the watch this all revealing documentary; please inform and I’ll send you an email with the video intact <3.
Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party is a 2016 American political documentary film about presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and an examination of the history of the Democratic Party, written and directed by Dinesh D’Souza and Bruce Schooley. The film had a limited release on July 15, 2016 before a wide release on July 22, 2016 and accompanies a book by D’Souza by the same name. The film was panned by critics, and received generally negative reviews. It was considered a box office success.
Background
Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative author and commentator who co-directed Hillary’s America, is known for also directing 2016: Obama’s America (2012), which criticized incumbent president Barack Obama during the 2012 presidential election. Obama’s America grossed $6.5 million its opening weekend and $33 million altogether, making it the 4th highest-grossing documentary of all time; also, it was the 2nd highest-grossing political documentary of all time in the United States.
Previously D’Souza released the 2014 film America: Imagine the World Without Her which portrayed United States history in a positive light, arguing against perceived liberal critiques of its history, including the theft of Native American and Mexican lands, black slavery, contemporary foreign policy, and its capitalist system. The 2014 America grossed $2.7 million in its opening weekend and over $14 million altogether, becoming the highest-grossing documentary in the United States in 2014.
Synopsis
The film begins with scenes of D’Souza at the halfway house where he spent time due to a conviction for making an illegal political contribution. The film then switches to examining and criticizing the history of the Democratic Party, from Andrew Jackson to the present day. D’Souza is portrayed going into a basement archive of the “Democratic Headquarters” where he reveals secrets of the party’s history with an emphasis on the voting records of Democrats on key historical issues such as slavery and civil rights. The film then switches to examining and criticizing Hillary Clinton. The film ends after playing patriotic music.

D’Souza presents various interviews in the film, including:
Carol M. Swain – political scientist, professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University, and former television host
Jonah Goldberg – conservative syndicated columnist, author and commentator

Release
Hillary’s America had a limited release on July 15, 2016, played in 3 theaters in Dallas, Houston, and Phoenix, and making a box office of $77,500. The success of the film during that period was described as “massively frontloaded” because it made about $41 thousand on the first day.

This date fell between the end of the 2016 Republican National Convention and the beginning of the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Reception
Critical reviews:
Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party was panned by critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 4%, based on 25 professional reviews, with an average rating of 1.8/10. The site’s consensus reads, “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party finds Dinesh D’Souza once again preaching to the right-wing choir – albeit less effectively than ever.” On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 2 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating “overwhelming dislike”. The film has the second all-time lowest score in the site’s history.
Reviewers from The Washington Post and The New York Times have described the film as politically partisan.
In a review for IndieWire, film critic David Ehrlich wrote, “This is the same old dog and pony show upon which D’Souza has built his brand. It’s his usual shtick of piggybacking a baseless personal attack onto a pseudo history lesson, a feature-length dog whistle that’s blown at a pitch so high that only the most ignorant or paranoid of people are capable of hearing it.” Writing in The Guardian, Jordan Hoffman described the film as “paranoid” and “so demented that no synopsis could do it justice” and D’Souza as a “simpleton”. He goes on to say that the basis of the film, the “purposely misunderstood fact” that “the Republicans used to be the good guys when it came to the issue of racial equality in America” is as surprising a discovery as the Soviet Union being an ally of the United States in World War Two because: “things change, and labels are semantics, and the concepts that bind a political party then might not be the same ones that bind them now.” Dann Gire of the Boston Herald called the film “an embarrassment to propaganda films”, full of “mind-boggling conspiracy theories” and “fried thoughts and lapses of basic journalistic practices”.
Reviewing the film, Alan Zilberman of The Washington Post stated that “any conservative voters who check out the latest film … will be disappointed by what they find. Incurious to a fault, it’s also too incoherent for serious argument.” In addition, Kurt Hyde of The New American called the film “a mixed bag”, stating that, among other reasons, although “parts of the movie were well-researched, the accounts of numerous other events, especially those more than 100 years in the past could have been researched more thoroughly” and that “[t]here isn’t any great difference between the two parties”, contrary to what the film claimed.
John Fund of the National Review stated that “[the film] is over the top in places and definitely selective, but the troubling facts are accurate and extensively documented in the D’Souza book that accompanies the movie [and that] the film is intensely patriotic”.[13]
Other:
On July 23, Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee against Clinton, called on supporters to see the film.
