In the heat of the 2016 U.S. presidential election—a cycle defined by chaos, outsider appeal, and deep national anxiety—conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza released Trumpland . Billed as both a rebuttal to Michael Moore’s anti-Trump Michael Moore in TrumpLand and a standalone manifesto, D’Souza’s film is less a traditional documentary and more a fervent political rally disguised as cinematic argumentation.
Trumpland is a film defined by its urgency. It is a 73-minute plea for sanity, delivered directly to the people Moore felt the Democratic party had forgotten. While it failed to stop Trump’s election, it stands as a vital document of the disconnect between the American political establishment and the working class.
