America: Imagine the World Without Her

I saw this documentary film two days ago thinking it would be a nice start to the July 4th weekend. I was very pleased with the way Dinesh organized the film and structured it in a way that was entertaining and informative. Even though I consider myself to be fairly well-read on US History, I learned some things from this film.

It was nice to see that at least some people in this country are not afraid to speak their minds about history and take controversial issues head-on. This direct approach is something you rarely see in true propaganda films, which happen to be mostly revisionist and slightly biased. Dinesh handles some weighty issues with class and an obviously insightful, organized approach.

The film was very well done and kept a nice flow throughout. There was nice mix of documentary interviews/narrative with more movie-like animation and computer-generated visuals. There was some humor and some drama interspersed.

This is something every American should watch.
