Contenido

In spite of its professed liberalism, Hollywood has always been risk-adverse, and most feature films deal with controversial issues long after the controversy is past. Hollywood Speaks Out explores that rare Hollywood feature that dared to tackle red-hot, social issues while America herself struggled to come to terms. Organized around issues that map the culture wars of the past and the present moment -poverty, racism, sexism, war, anti-Semitism, and homophobia- this engaging text captures American cultural and social history in cinematic real-time, from The Birth of a Nation, Boys Don't Cry, and American Beauty to Silkwood, Syriana, and Transamerica.
