Disclose.tv – Hollywoodism: The Ideology that has Devoured Western Culture
‘Hollywoodism’ is an eye opening documentary based on the book ‘An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood’. The film traces the origins of modern Hollywood back to the arrival of some of the biggest hitters of the studio system and the classic golden age of Hollywood on the boats of refugees arriving from Europe during the dark days of anti-Semitic persecution. The documentary examines how these Jewish refugees with their sense of being outsiders and desperate wish to assimilate themselves into the notion of the American dream led to the creation of the ideological juggernaut that Hollywood has become today.
