Conservative commentator Dinesh DSouza, who starred in, co-wrote and co-directed 2016, will return as the writer and star of a film simply titled America to be directed by John Sullivan, who wrote and directed 2016 with DSouza.

While 2016 was based on DSouzas book The Roots of Obamas Rage, the new film will not draw from previously known source material, and the filmmakers say America is not technically a sequel to 2016, though audiences may be inclined to view it as such.
In America, DSouza intends to recreate some famous moments in American history and ask the question: What would the world be like if the U.S. had not existed? He likened America, in fact, to Frank Capras 1946 film Its a Wonderful Life, in which George Bailey learns what his town would have been like had he never lived.
President Obama looks at America as an oppressive force, DSouza said, while I and millions of others around the world have a different view that America has been a great blessing to its own people and to the world.

DSouza says America should make its way into theaters by the middle of next year, an advantageous time as Americans turn their attention toward politics again due to the midterm elections, when all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up for grabs, as are 33 seats in the Senate.
