D'Souza also posits that the way the country understands the past will determine the future.

Critics Consensus

Passionate but poorly constructed, America preaches to the choir.

There's no doubt that D'Souza loves America, but he loves it much in the same way that we all do: According to a map of his own design.

"America" would be simply annoying if it were just preaching to the choir; what makes it unendurable is the fact that D'Souza and Sullivan can't craft a sermon that would keep even the choir awake, interested, and entertained.

Austin Chronicle

This is an unusually odious effort because it is so hugely hypocritical and ultimately self-serving.

Filmmaker Magazine

America is predictably atrociously crafted, with marginal actors reedily declaiming Lincoln’s speeches and many shots of the co-writer/director/presenter demonstrating how American he is...

A heinously inflammatory propaganda piece that gives the documentary form and even-minded conservatives bad names, "America: Imagine the World Without Her" boils down to 105 minutes of uneducated ignorance.

This was terrible. Don't watch any of Dinesh D'Souza's movies. Packed with misinformation and conspiracy theories. This was a waste of time.

Don't let the rabid anti-Americanism out there fool you. Let's face it, the world would be worse off without the US being the world leader. Educate yourself about the US and give it a watch
