Innovative and evolving to re-invent their adoptable culture, they drew the history of "How The Jewish Created Hollywood" is a biographical book that explores the collective efforts of a group of Eastern Jewish men who, although having few resources, collaborated to transform their childhood experiences into compelling narratives in an American context. Through their teamwork, they successfully established a significant presence in the film industry. Despite starting at the lowest position, their unwavering dedication propelled them to seemingly surpass everyone else and reach the highest position on the totem pole, using whatever methods required. The film exhibited a somewhat milder tone compared to the novel.

Preserving history, especially for black Americans, is worthy of praise.

The history of the influence Eastern European Jewish Émigré culture has had on Hollywood and the films created in its golden age. The American Dream" was around many years before Hollywood pictures.
I always wondered why so many films depicted peaceful, vulnerable people being attacked and brutalized. I guess I didn’t see why the working-class, underdog, or outsider story was so prevalent, but I can now see how it was pushed so hard.

"I didn't even know I was Jewish." I can totally relate to this. My Hungarian Jewish Grandfather Chemist Scientist hid our Jewishness behind his secular, humanist views. When asked about his heritage, he would say simply, "We were Hungarian. That is all." It was my dark eyes and dark locs that set me apart and soon it was pointed out to me who I really was once I hit Jr High School. A teacher at Luther Burbank Jr High in Highland Park, East LA, first alerted me to this new identity beyond an allusive "Attila the Hun" ancestry (this is what I was told by my predominately English/Scottish/French maternal sides...Lol.
..they did a good job covering up this Jewish part of our heritage). The teacher, whose dark eyes mimiced my own, angrily blurted out incredulously, "Dont you know who you are?" It wasnt until an older couple about my Grandfather's age stopped me outside their convenience store right off Figueroa and the center of town. "Girl, girl...come here. What is your name?"
I gave them my name, and they smiled at one another, speaking in Hungarian and indicating they knew my family. They motioned me to their shop and once inside rolled up their sleeves and there were the numbers on their forearms. They pointed to the store, indicating i could come anytime and have whatever I wanted. I was around fourteen. It was 1976.
Returning to my mothers Bohemian artisan shop, I told her about my encounter. She said, "That's ridiculous. You are related to Attila the Hun." It took a DNA test many years later by one of my brothers that finally the rest of my family accepted this Jewish part of ourselves. This documentary film definitely hits home. So much was hidden for good reason. Hatred of the Other is a scary thing.
