A powerful documentary that traces Hollywood's complicated relationship with the Holocaust as Jewish studio heads struggle with their identity. Through film clips from Charlie Chaplin's “The Great Dictator”, Sidney Lumet's “The Pawnbroker”, Steven Spielberg's “Schindler's List”, and others, award-winning director Daniel Anker investigates the interplay between historical fact and cinematic fiction which has helped define American understanding of Nazism and World War II. Gene Hackman narrates.
