Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (born April 25, 1961) is an Indian American political commentator, author, and filmmaker. He was formerly associated with the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution. From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York City.
Born in Mumbai, D'Souza came to the United States as an exchange student and graduated from Dartmouth College. He became a naturalized citizen in 1991. He is the author of several New York Times best-selling books, including titles on Christian apologetics. D'Souza has been critical of New Atheism. In 2012, D'Souza released his film 2016: Obama's America, an anti-Obama polemic based on D'Souza's 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage; the film was the highest-grossing conservative documentary film produced in the United States.
In January 2014, D'Souza was indicted on charges of making illegal contributions to a 2012 United States Senate campaign, a felony under U.S. law. On May 20, 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty in Federal Court to one charge of using a "straw donor" to make an illegal political campaign donation. On September 23, he was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years probation, and a $30,000 fine.
In 2016, D'Souza released a new documentary film and book, both entitled Hillary's America, which presented D'Souza's personal narrative concerning the Democratic Party and was the highest grossing documentary of 2016. His films have been the subject of controversy and criticized for being heavily partisan and for espousing conspiracy theories.
