Movie director evades Hollywood blacklist

Independent movie-maker Dennis Lynch has created a new business model that gets his documentary movies out to his audiences — also makes enough money to fund his next project.

The public is buying because he’s making documentaries that Americans want to see, selling them via mail, and using each sale to distribute extra free DVDs so the buyers act as viral distributors.

Americans want to his movies because they know that “when you give amnesty to 20, 30 million people, it will fundamentally change this country,” he told The Daily Caller.

His prior movies, “They Come to America,” and “They Come to America II,” focused on illegal immigration over the southern border.

The movies include jarring segments about the impact of illegal immigration on Americans’ ability to earn a decent living, about security gaps along the border, and immigrants’ attitudes towards the United States.

The next movie is about the diverse efforts by Americans to protest President Barack Obama’s policies.

Lynch’s distribution process bypasses the traditional distribution mechanism for movies — expensive cinemas, hostile theater reviewers, the progressive promoters who run movie festivals, movie critics, and the star-struck hosts on the evening TV shows. He says he’s shipped more than 240,000 DVDs so far.

Each purchase comes with extra copies of the DVD, which his buyers pass on to their friends, neighbors, co-workers and local political leaders, he said.

Lynch says this is a viable strategy, and also a necessary one, because the progressives who dominate the entertainment industry are deeply committed to increased diversity, no matter the cost to their fellow Americans.

Lynch said he began making movies after he sold his computer recycling company in 2000. He says focused on movies about immigration after meeting a neighbor on Long Island whose carpentry business had crashed after rich locals started hiring networks of low-wage Hispanic immigrants.

The man has been a Republican donor and volunteer, but stopped when GOP politicians failed to block the influx low-wage illegals, said Lynch. He says that’s a model for the future of the GOP if it backs the amnesty and guest-worker bill being pushed by Obama and Democratic legislators.

The emotional opposition to amnesty is graphically shown by one of his Facebook posts. When he asked his readers if GOP supporters would stay home in future elections if their GOP legislators endorse the amnesty, Lynch said, “I had 26,000 people answer in 24 hours.”

Only 75 people promised future support for the GOP legislators, and “the rest of the people said ‘I will not vote for that person, and I will stay home,’” said Lynch.

GOP leaders won’t be able to pick up enough pro-immigration voters to compensate for loss of voters who want reduced immigration, Lynch said.

“For every person they think they can pick up from the pro-amnesty crowd, they’ll lose 10 of their own,” he said. “They’ll get annihilated if they support this at any level.”

Lynch argues that the GOP hasn’t produced a leader who can speak for Americans on immigration.

Principled leaders, such as Sen. Jeff Sessions, “just don’t grab the camera,” Lynch said. “They don’t have the swagger and personality to capture the camera, they’re not not a big enough voice,” to break through the established media refusal to recognize the costs of immigration.

But, according to Lynch, Obama has his eyes fixed on the prize of fundamentally changing America’s people. “His legacy is immigration… he’s brilliant, in the sense that he’s cunning, has every one looking to [fight over Obamacare on] the left, and he’s running down the center of the field,” Lynch said.

If the Senate’s immigration bill becomes law, said Lynch, “it will devastate American workers, it will create a one-party system.”
