Dinesh Joseph D'Souza (born April 25, 1961) is an Indian American political commentator, author, and filmmaker. From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York City.
Born in Bombay, 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 documentary film and book, both entitled Hillary's America, which presented D'Souza's personal narrative concerning the Democratic Party; the film was the highest grossing documentary of 2016. His films have been the subject of some controversy and criticized for espousing conspiracy theories.
