“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.
