Joel Gilbert is a musician and documentary filmmaker whose 2012 piece "Dreams From My Real Father" blows the doors off the Obama birth certificate controversy. Gilbert's film, made in a unique format, describes the youth of Barack Hussein Obama and his relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, a famous American Communist radical.

Gilbert's film puts a completely different twist on the origins of Obama by it examining the man, Davis, who guided the young Barack and shaped his world view. Frank Marshall Davis, as portrayed by Gilbert's film, was Barack Obama's real father.  Dreams from My Real Father is a fascinating narrative based on 2 years of research, interviews, newly unearthed footage, photos, and provides the first cohesive understanding of Obama's deep rooted life journey in socialism, from his childhood to his Presidency. To view the trailer and visit official film website, go to ObamasRealFather.com
