It feels like a poorly made American movie. In truth, reality surpasses the realm of imagination and turns into a relentless “witch hunt.” It is the era of McCarthyism in the United States, and Hollywood is accused of being “red.” The “exterminators” must find their targets… and they arrive at a list of ten artists—some of Hollywood’s biggest names—who are accused and condemned in a show trial as communists. This is the notorious group known as the Hollywood Ten. They fought through their art for their rights and for a dignified life, but they faced the vise grip of the system and the public outcry of those who supported it, in a climate of absolute submission.
