At a screening of the movie in Michigan, many shed tears over America’s current trajectory and concerns over unequal justice.
“I cried in there. It makes me so sad to see what is happening to America,” said a suburban woman on her way out of the theater.
That was the reaction of numerous moviegoers as they exited the Oct. 23 theater premiere showing of ‘Police State,’ the latest feature-length film by conservative author, filmmaker, and political commentator Dinesh D’Souza.
The teary-eyed woman was among the many people who stopped to talk to The Epoch Times in the lobby or parking lot of the large theater metroplex in Macomb County, Michigan.
“How do our officials sleep at night? Innocent people are being persecuted, people who are not criminals,” she said. “I pray that God would use this well-done film to have an effect on those who should fear him.”
A Grandmother’s Response
“We are in trouble,” said a 70-year-old grandmother of six. “Our children and our grandchildren are in trouble. We need to fight back hard. I got tickets for five of my friends and relatives.
“Many people I know are still so complacent. They would be devastated if they saw this film—and, well, they should be.
“I ask myself, ‘Are we getting to enough people who are not knowledgeable and need to be informed?’”
When asked what takeaways from the film she would like to share with the public, she said, “Wake up! Speak up! This is America, and we’ve got to save it.”
‘Enemy of the American People’
“We are really awake,” said Rick, one of a small group of friends who came to watch the film together.
“Our present leadership in Washington is the enemy of the American people.
“They are allowing the takedown of America through unlimited immigration. They have created an unfair system of justice. They are running roughshod over our Constitution and are hurting us all through debt-fueled inflation.”
Bob from Washington, Michigan, called the leaders in Washington “morons.”
