THE decision by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to trade barbs over whose party is more racist has been a godsend for Dinesh D’Souza, who will re-release his latest film, “Hillary’s America,” in 400 theaters in the United States this weekend, The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.

    D’Souza’s movie is about the history of the Democratic party, including its early support of the Ku Klux Klan and opposition to the emancipation of slaves.

    “Hillary’s America” first opened July 15 and earned US$12.5 million at the box office, good enough to be the most successful documentary this year, but well shy of D’Souza’s debut film, “2016: Obama’s America,” in 2012, as well as his follow-up film, “America: Imagine a World Without Her.” The latter made US$14.4 million in 2014. A rerelease of “Hillary’s America,” however, could vault it past D’Souza’s 2014 film.

    Insiders say the re-release is due to demand from fans who lobbied the theater owners.

    “This film has a message that’s behind the headlines — it’s making headlines,” D’Souza said. (SD-Agencies)
