Hollywood on Trial plot

Documentary, narrated by director/actor John Huston, that offers a detailed look at the lead-up to the blacklisting of Hollywood writers and artists. In October 1947, 19 people from Hollywood were summoned before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, where they were questioned about knowledge of and alleged involvement with the American Communist Party. The first ten summoned who refused to cooperate became known as 'The Hollywood Ten'. This is their story.
