Acclaimed writer, Shelby Steele, has long argued that systemic racism is more a strategy than a truth, and that the universal oppression of black Americans is largely over with. But the 2014 shooting of a black teen, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri by a white policeman shook the nation to its core. During Steele’s investigation of Ferguson, America was once again rocked by the brutal killing of George Floyd. Didn’t these killings, and the long list of others like them, put the lie to Steele’s argument?

2016: Obama's America leva o público em uma emocionante jornada visual até o coração do escritório mais poderoso do mundo, para revelar a luta entre a possibilidade de o passado de um homem redefinir a América nos próximos quatro anos. O filme examina a questão: "Se Obama ganhar um segundo mandato, onde estaremos em 2016?" Em todo o mundo e na América, as pessoas em 2008 ansiavam por um líder que se unisse e nos levantasse da turbulência econômica e da guerra. Fiel aos ideais das Américas, eles investiram sua esperança em um novo tipo de presidente, Barack Obama. O que eles não sabiam é que Obama é um homem com um passado que o define de forma poderosa - quem ele é, como ele pensa, e onde ele pretende levar a América e o mundo. Imerso em locais exóticos em quatro continentes, o autor mais vendido Dinesh DSouza corre contra o tempo para encontrar respostas para o passado de Obama e revelar como será a América em 2016.
