Very little is known in the US about the Colonial system. Most of us knew that the British, French, Spanish and Dutch had colonies around the globe, but we never felt as though America was the big 'global colonizer.' In the Middle East, much of Africa and Asia, however, America has now taken over that role in their minds. They feel as though America is the country that continues to take resources from poor countries for our own benefit and profit; that America is successful largely due to their suffering.
Obama lived this experience vis-a-vis his mother, who was raised in Lebanon and married a man from Kenya. Kenya had been a British colony and Obama's father viewed America and 'the West' as the occupiers who had somehow ruined his country and the rest of the third world. Obama was schooled in this way of thinking by his mother and her friends, who were known radical communists of the time. We were never allowed any information about Obama and his associates prior to running for president. His formative years he was surrounded by anti-American characters, communists and even his spiritual mentor Reverend Wright was brought out only briefly through the media and he was quickly silenced by the Obama political machine.
America deserves to know the plans that our leaders have for our country, and this film exposes the motivation and thought processes that are behind Obama's policies and actions. I took my teenage children to see this movie so they could learn how much of the world views America - as Obama does, an evil colonizer robbing the poor of their valuable resources making the US responsible for the failures of so many countries around the world. I feel that it is high time that his political affiliations are finally brought to light and that America be educated on this colonial system that although is an antiquated concept, continues to be a driving force for many revolutionary movements throughout the Middle East and Africa. This is a must see movie for anyone living in America. It should be shown to all children in the schools, as it demonstrates what the world view is of America - that most of us never see.
Pros well paced, great story, historical perspecitve, politically informative, educational
Yes, I recommend this movie.
