Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception is a 2012 American film by Joel Gilbert.  It presents his conspiracy theory that U.S. President Barack Obama's biological father was Frank Marshall Davis, an American poet and labor activist in Chicago and Hawaii, rather than the Kenyan Barack Obama, Sr. The film claims that Davis (who had been a closet member of the Communist Party USA) influenced the young Obama's ideology, a claim disputed by Obama biographer David Remnick.
