PALESTINE —
Schulman Theatres Dogwood Six in Palestine will be showing the movie “2016: Obama’s America,” starting this weekend.
The theater had been overwhelmed with phone calls in recent weeks from many local people who were interested in seeing the movie.
After its successful opening weekend in limited theaters nationwide, the filmmakers are distributing the movie to even more theaters this weekend, including in Palestine.
The 87-minute documentary purports to show what the United States of America would look like were President Obama to win a second term.
