Those 10 men were subsequently denied employment, imprisoned; afraid of collateral damage to the industry, the studio moguls were thus moved to design the Blacklist. This episode will explore the work and politics of the Hollywood Ten - and films on which they came together, such as Crossfire - and delve into the far-reaching consequences of their false assumption that the Constitution would protect them.
