Dreams from My Real Father

Blending extensive research, interviews, and rare footage, Dreams from My Real Father explores the complexities of Barack Obama’s origins. Director Joel Gilbert aims to bridge the gaps in Obama’s narrative, suggesting that the president's true intentions for "fundamentally transforming America" remain obscured. By incorporating the writings of both Davis and Obama, the film raises critical questions about identity and influence. Ultimately, it challenges viewers to consider the implications of paternal relationships on political ideologies. Gilbert provocatively asks: “Who is the real father?” as a means to decode Obama’s vision for the nation.
