Hollywood Exiles (www.cbc.ca)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone to c/podcasts@lemmy.ml
 

Host Oona Chaplin tells the story of the decades-long campaign to root out communism in Hollywood. It’s a campaign that eventually drove her grandfather, Charlie Chaplin, and many others out of tinseltown. Hollywood Exiles is a tale of glamour, duplicity and political intrigue that reverberates to this day. It’s the story of how Tinseltown became an ideological battleground. The toll of the fight was enormous – reputations, careers and families were torn apart by the campaign to drive communists from the movie business.
