If you are looking for a neutral political documentary then this isn't it. This movie is a no-holds-barred attack on the Democrat party and Hillary Clinton through dramatization.
It's titled Hillary's America but that title is a little misleading. The movie focuses more on the Democratic party than it does on Hillary Clinton. It only starts delving specifically into Hillary in the last 35 minutes of the movie.
This movie deals in absolutes. The Democrats are cast as absolute villains and the Republicans are portrayed as absolute angels. The movie tells us the Democratic party started off consisting mostly of slave owners but became con-artists and scammers after slavery ended to enslave people again through other means.
The actor who played Lyndon B. Johnson was spot on. Also, the actress who portrayed young Hillary looked very much like her.
I'm not going to vote for Hillary, the mediocre score i'm giving the movie just reflects how i thought of the movie in general. The reenactments and the dramatics were over the top. I would have been happy if it was just a straight documentary.

A truly awful far right propaganda piece masquerading as documentary who's only objective is to engage in character assassination of Hilary Clinton and the Democratic Party. The same filmmaker tried the same thing before with the equally awful "Obama's America", which impressed nobody other than rabid right-wingers. There's little to enthuse even conservative or mainstream republican film critics and viewers, who would prefer to spend time in a theatre watching something genuinely thought provoking about a complex personality and party.
No different to the previous effort this will be applauded by the converted, which will jack up in user ratings but by nobody else.

To be honest, both parties are corrupt and need to be bulldozed and rebuilt, if you are going to do a documentary (If this was one) then do one on the Republican party too, it's just as evil! If you are going to vote, vote for an independent!! Trump is no the answer!!

God help us all (Trying to fill up 10 lines) XD If anything, let Obama stay in. thanks
I give it 2 stars just for production and not product.

The fact that this got such a low meta score is in itself suspect, This is not the highest grade production but it's good enough not to detract from the interesting plot line, agree or disagree with dinesh, he is a very intelligent interesting person who deserves to be heard out at least, certainly doesn't deserve the artificial meta score of 2. I've never written a review before but In this case i felt i had to, to at least give him the credit he is due and stand up to the liberal ideologues running Hollywood, I'm not usually a fan of conspiracy theories but after seeing this movie/documentary I can't understand how else it got a meta score of 2, when it probably deserves something around 40-50. Anyone that's interested in a narrative other than the artificial liberal spin, should watch this movie.
Going into this film, I knew it was going to be a one-sided conservative hit piece. Fine. Many of the claims D'Souza makes are ultimately true, though some are exaggerated more than others. However, he of course does not criticize "his side", who are just as corrupt as the Democratic Party. While a lot of it certainly is factual, he omits a lot of facts that pertain to what he is discussing. He paints the picture that Republicans are and have always been noble, do-no-wrong saints in the political world. Someone could make a similar movie about the "Secret History of the Republican Party" as well, put them together, then you have "The History of the Corruption and Corporatization of the American Political System" - a more accurate portrayal. Let's be real folks, the D's and R's have done this together, and only divide the population who ultimately have the same interests using the issues that D'Souza talks about in this film - race, abortion, guns, etc.
