Hollywoodism takes us through the establishment of Hollywood, the triumphs of the Golden Age of the 1920’s and 1930’s, the Second World War, and the attack on Hollywood as un-American during the HUAC hearings. Our story ends with a look at the legacy that the Moguls left behind, a legacy that has not only seduced the American public, but has by now virtually conquered the world.

As a historical study not only of American film and the Jewish Emigre community who became a part of the art, this film is as invaluable as it is enlightening. You will learn about an outsider community, trying to make a living in a nation that would not accept them easily, turned out to have helped redefine the ideals and assumptions in American popular culture. From Andy Hardy to Superman and more, you understand Hollywood in ways you would not expect. As such, even with film in the factory studio system in its Golden Age, you will see how its content was much more personal and meaningful than you'd expect.
