Fox News - Conservative filmmaker behind anti-Obama documentary indicted for violating election law
_{23 januari 2014 - The conservative filmmaker behind a hit anti-Obama documentary was indicted Thursday night on charges he violated federal campaign laws, in what a close colleague is calling a “selective prosecution.” Dinesh D'Souza, whose “2016: Obama’s America” is the second-highest grossing political documentary of all time, will appear in U.S. District Court in New York Friday. ... “Neither the filmmakers nor the American public can allow this prosecution to deter us from the film's release, and I am calling upon the American people to show their elected officials that this kind of selective prosecution will not stand, by joining us at the box office,” Molen said. “I look forward to my good friend Dinesh being vindicated for what appears to be nothing more than a misunderstanding."}

After writing The Roots of Obama's Rage, D'Souza began to work with Schindler's List co-producer Gerald R. Molen on a film called 2016: Obama's America.[71] Through interviews and reenactments, the film compares the similarities of the lives of D'Souza and President Barack Obama as D'Souza presents his theory of how early influences on Obama are affecting the decisions he makes as president. The film's tagline is "Love him or hate him, you don't know him". The film has been critiqued on the grounds that what D'Souza posits as being an investigation into Obama includes considerable projection and speculation and selective borrowing from Obama's own autobiography in seeking to prove D'Souza's psychoanalysis of Obama.[72][73] According to the Obama administration, it is "an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the president."[74]
