Samenvatting
Hollywood Speaks Out explores that rare Hollywood feature that dared to tackle red–hot, social issues whilst American society was gripped by the convulsion and controversy they generated.
Explores why Hollywood has always been risk–adverse, and how most feature flms deal with controversial issues long after the controversy is past
Organized around such important issues as poverty, racism, sexism, war, anti–Semitism, and homophobia
Discusses the relevance and the impact of feature films from Modern Times to WALL–E
