The Reality of America

General Paul E. Vallely
Major General, US Army (ret)

There's No Place Like Utopia portrays the reality of America, in stark contrast to the Utopian fantasy of the Progressives and their myopic supporters. This film demonstrates that the Progressive fantasy is creating nothing but disillusionment, leading our great county down a self-destructive path. Film maker Joel Gilbert rightly depicts America at a crossroads between reality and fantasy. Highly recommended!

Americans Need to Wake Up

Ken Timmerman
Author of Dark Forces: The Truth about what Happened in Benghazi

Joel Gilbert dissects what many Americans think of as a benign desire for a perfectible universe, and in doing so exposes the dark totalitarian underside of utopian dreams. With insightful interviews overlaying a comic narrative, Gilbert brings to life our current day Wizards of Oz and their outsized plans to reorganize society and control behavior, while shrinking the freedoms we still - foolishly - take for granted. Americans need to wake up before they find themselves living in a very different country from the one they were born to.

A Sobering Discovery for America

Konstantin Preobrazhensky
ex-KGB officer

There's No Place Like Utopia will be a sobering discovery for America. Instead of the usual image of a prosperous and carefree country, it depicts a dying, deteriorating America, sick mentally and physically. The film maker, Joel Gilbert, demonstrates great civil courage in unmasking the new leftist masters of America, whom it it is dangerous to expose, and about whom one can only speak good or nothing at all...

Validation of the Truth

Alan Favre, Denver, CO

I cant think of a higher honor to recognize your body of work in the movie 'Utopia' than to say it needs to belong to the ages. All high school economics & sociology classes should review this film. What imagination, what facts, what humor, what a 'happy warrior', what quality music, what good pacing & timing, what validation of the truth that is stated by the victims of their own demise both wittingly & unwittingly... a masterpiece.

Gilbert's Film could have a Real Political Impact

Author Rael Jean Isaac

Joel Gilbert takes a serious theme--how socialism (disguised as progressivism) threatens to destroy our freedom and prosperity and fashions it into an imaginative, creative, biting and yes, genuinely funny movie. There's No Place Like Utopia manages to be both instructive and entertaining. It should be to the current elections what Dinesh di Souza's documentary 2016 was to the 2012 elections, only this time, given the very different atmosphere, Gilbert's film could have a real political impact.
