'Death of a Nation': The don't-see film of the summer

By Trevor Sheffield Death of a Nation (released August 3, 2018), the next film by documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza (whose prior body of work includes such works as Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party and 2016: Obama’s America) is a film that's divisive, almost intentionally so. People who disagree with it will leave the theater angry and insulted by the madness that D’Souza has been given millions of dollars to waste upon multiplex screens across the country. People who do agree with the film will be reaffirmed in their beliefs with nothing to really challenge them, and will perhaps be emboldened to act upon them further. That said, what is the film about? Death of a Nation follows D’Souza (acting as the quote unquote protagonist of the piece, as well as being the director, writer, and co-producer alongside his wife) as he takes a trip through history to prove how modern day Liberals and Democrats are both figuratively and literally the next form of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime, how Hitler’s views were actually progressive, and how the successor to President Abraham Lincoln’s position as a disruptive force for good in the White House is ultimately President Donald John Trump. In short? It’s basically propaganda, and I will be treating it as such.

Winter for Poland and good taste
