“Death Of A Nation” (** out of four) was a scattershot documentary from right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D’Sousza focusing on Trump’s presidential win and how he claims it was set in motion by the idealism of liberals going back to Lincoln’s presidency which had oppressed freedom and truth (or something or other). Attempt to link Trump’s current presidency and events to Lincoln’s office term and even Hitler and Stalin’s regime (!) doesn’t work although he does present some thought-provoking and interesting ideas as usual. Whether you like D’Sousza (or Trump) will surely affect your enjoyment of the film. An interesting companion piece to D’Sousza’s own “2016: Obama’s America.”
