Dinesh DSouza is planning to go where NBC and CNN feared to tread: an on-screen portrayal of Hillary Clinton.

Ten months ago, NBC and CNN, under immense pressure from both the right and the left, famously ditched their planned projects focused on the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state. But a portion of DSouzas upcoming documentary, America, features Clinton as both a teenager and a college student, played both times by a 22-year-old novice actress named Jennifer Pearson.

In America, DSouza attempts to debunk arguments he says the political left makes to demean the U.S., including its motives and its history. In the one-minute scene embedded below, a youth minister tells a 14-year-old Clinton that hes excited for her to meet someone, then a door opens but the clip ends before the meeting takes place. DSouza, the conservative filmmaker who was also behind the surprise hit movie, 2016: Obamas America, tells The Hollywood Reporter that the person on the other side of the door is leftist icon Saul Alinsky. What happens after that, DSouza wont say, but there are plenty of clues in America: Imagine a World Without Her, his just-published book in which the film is based.

In DSouzas book he analyzes Alinskys most famous book, Rules for Radicals, beginning with the often overlooked fact that it was partially dedicated to the devil, because, as Alinsky put it, he was "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."

DSouza writes that Alinsky taught "that the task of the radical is to turn middle class people against themselves, to make them instruments of their own destruction," and that the four steps to accomplishing that goal are polarization, demonization, organization and deception.

All of this is relevant, DSouza says, because Clinton first met Alinsky as a young teenager, as depicted in the movie, then reconnected with him in college. She was so influenced DSouza says "radicalized" by Alinsky that she wrote her undergraduate thesis on him.

When 1960s activists like Clinton sought Alinskys counsel, he told them, according to DSouza: "You can be revolutionaries, but you should not look or act or smell like revolutionaries. Take baths. Use deodorant. Cut your hair. Put on ties and dresses if you have to. Dont use obscenities. Dont call the police pigs and U.S. soldiers fascists. Feign an interest in middle-class tastes; in other words, pretend to be like the people you hate."

DSouzas point in the book -- and one he makes in the movie, too -- is that if Clinton is elected president in 2016, shed be the second U.S. president in a row who would be an "Alinskyite," the first being Barack Obama.
