Reception Ĭritical reaction to the film was largely negative. The Daily Beast reported that there was no way to verify the numbers claimed by Gilbert. He refused to disclose who funded the film's wide mailings. Gilbert says that more than one million copies of his film were mailed to voters in Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire and Colorado prior to the 2012 United States presidential election. The Hollywood Reporter said, "He did not use an expert, however, to support his finding." Gilbert compared these to Dunham's high school pictures and says he found the similarity to be "obvious". He claims he found nude and fetish photos of Obama's late mother Ann Dunham, which he says were taken in late 1960 by Davis in Davis' Hawaii home. In his memoir, Obama had noted that his grandfather Stanley Dunham and Davis were friends in Hawaii, and both had grown up in Kansas.įilmmaker Gilbert said the film was the result of two years of research. Filmmaker Gilbert claims that the senior Dunham was not a furniture salesman, but rather a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent tasked with monitoring communists in Hawaii. The film alleges that Frank Marshall Davis, an African-American journalist, poet and labor activist, met Obama's mother Ann Dunham through her father Stanley Dunham. Reviews of the film were generally negative, noting that Gilbert had not proved any of his allegations, and the film was described as a "pseudo-documentary" and in "bad taste".
The title is derived from Obama's memoir about his early life, Dreams from My Father (1995). The film claims that Davis, who had been a closet member of the Communist Party USA, influenced Obama's ideology, a claim disputed by Obama biographer David Remnick. President Barack Obama's biological father was Frank Marshall Davis, an American poet and labor activist in Chicago and Hawaii, rather than Barack Obama Sr.
It presents his conspiracy theory that U.S. Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception is a 2012 American film by Joel Gilbert.
