‘Police State’ Documentary Review

D’Souza Media presents Police State, a documentary that explores the weaponization of federal agencies against citizens of the United States of America. It was produced by Dinesh D’Souza, Debbie D’Souza, and Bruce Schooley in collaboration with Dan Bongino.

D’Souza and Bongino discuss the growing concern among American citizens that federal agencies such as the IRS, FBI, and DHS are targeting people based on political affiliation. They explore the aftermath of September 2011, the Patriot Act, the FISA Courts, and how various US Presidents have stretched powers to attain the outcomes they desire.

Through interviews, reenactments, and archival footage, D’Souza and his collaborators do an excellent job of painting a picture of how corrupt the feds have become over time. They leave no stone unturned and no issue is off limits as they take the viewer on a ride that you will never forget. It is sobering, heart-wrenching, and at times tragic, but done in a brilliant way.

Though you do not want to miss any of the interviews with victims, three stuck out to me. The first is Yeonmi Park, an escapee from North Korea who warned about the way the surveillance state is becoming more dangerous in the USA. The second was Jerry, whose nephew tragically took his own life after being accused of terrorism for simply being in the capital on January 6th. Lastly, Mark Houck, a pro-life supporter defended his son against a crazed abortion activist who had his house stormed by law enforcement after getting charges dropped. These three tales paint the largest picture and it was brutal.

The archival footage is some of the most sobering you will see. Watching government law enforcement agents who are supposed to help you attack law-abiding citizens was horrific. You do not want to see it, but there is no looking away.

I would like to praise Nick Searcy. He is a brilliant actor and he played an FBI Field Officer who was a stand-in for a lot of bureaucrats who perpetuate that in reenactments. He did an excellent job and you definitely feel the drive he brings to his scenes.

Essentially, this documentary is a well-made warning sign and one you should watch. Whether you watch it in theaters, on Rumble, Salem Now, or Epoch TV, you will walk away with a bigger picture of just how far corruption can grow in order to accomplish its goals.

D’Souza made a winner with this documentary and his team should receive accolades for the deep dive it takes the viewer on.
