Hollywood was for many years effectively controlled by the major studios which were themselves run by Jews emigres from Europe and antisemitism, yet when faced with the emergence and rise of Hitler in the 20s and 30s, they did everything they could to maintain international “Box Office” by ignoring what was in front of them. They simply couldn’t afford to upset their German market. It was not until much later that some brave producers and film makers were willing to risk their careers by making movies that showed the covert Antisemitism on their own doorstep in America as well as that which existed throughout the ages in Europe and in particular in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Brave film makers like Charlie Chaplin, Elia Kazan took the lead in changing this.     This amazing Documentary tells the story of how Hollywood and its moguls woke up to reality.
