Based on the work of Dinesh D'Souza, 2016: Obama's
America is the highest-grossing conservatively-slanted documentary of all time.
It lays out what D'Souza believes Obama would do in a second term as President
of the United States. He bases his conclusions on Obama's father's
anti-colonialism and on Obama's purported psychological desire to fulfill his
father's dream of diminishing the power of Western imperial states. The film is
arresting in its presentation and sobering in its conclusions.

Recoleta is the final resting place for key figures of its nation's history -

Argentina's history so fraught with unrest, this relationship between the

Prividera's new film. A series of individuals read aloud excerpts from the
writings of noteworthy Argentines interred within. Revealed are civil wars,
battles with the country's native population, conflict between the city and the
provinces, and years of military dictatorship. The readings are intercut with
sequences of daily life in Recoleta, including the cemetery's custodians, whose
work amid the tombs alludes to the ongoing construction of the nation's
