Why Dinesh D'Souza's 'America' Features Clips of Matt Damon, Woody Harrelson

The celebrities are depicted as liberals who actively undermine the idea of "American exceptionalism" through their work. U2 rocker Bono, however, is championed in the film.
Moviegoers heading to Dinesh D’Souza’s America over the July 4 weekend probably aren’t expecting much star power, so they might be surprised when celebrities like Bono, Matt Damon and Woody Harrelson pop up on screen.
While President Obama, Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton -- as well as Hillary Clinton -- are portrayed as disciples of Saul Alinsky, the movie also indicts Damon and Harrelson as members of the left who actively undermine the idea of “American exceptionalism” through their work and their status as celebrities.
"It's fun to make our points through illustrations using recognizable figures from popular culture. We have to explain to many people who Frederick Douglass is, but everyone knows Matt Damon and Bono," D'Souza told The Hollywood Reporter. "I actually like the Bourne movies, so I guess I am one of the people putting money in Matt Damon's pocket. Now if only I could also put some brains into his head."
