Films Worth Seeing and Circulating

Dennis Michael Lynch, also known as DML, is an investigative filmmaker who specializes in producing films, videos and news clips that reveal the truth about the biggest issues facing America.

His first two films, THEY COME TO AMERICA and THEY COME TO AMERICA II, focused on the negative impacts of illegal immigration. Collectively, both films have been shared more than 1,000,000 times. The films inspired Americans from both parties to contact their Representatives and demand they vote against the Senate's immigration reform bill.

DML believes WE RIDE TO DC will help people realize the mainstream media distorts and ignores the facts when reporting on key issues. He also believes it will inspire Americans to take action in the upcoming elections.

In addition to producing THEY COME TO AMERICA III, DML is also creating a film called MONEY FOR NOTHING. The documentary takes a hard look at America's entitlement system and how it negatively impacts the American work ethic.
