Episode Synopsis


The words 'Hollywood film' represent a set of values and perceptions that are identified, for better or worse, with American culture: for example, doing things big, or dividing the world into 'good and evil.' These values and perceptions were born, to a large extent, in the thirties and forties of the last century, an era that earned the nickname 'the golden age of classic Hollywood.' But you might be surprised to hear that those who shaped these values, and who are largely responsible for the way we perceive America, and the way Americans perceive themselves - were a group of people who were outsiders to this culture. People who wanted with all their might to be part of the American dream - and were rejected by it. This is the story of the Jews who built Hollywood.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
