EPISODE 41 - “The Death of the Dream Factory” - 06/24/2024


When the early movie studios began to pop up in Hollywood during the 1920s and 1930s, the major studio chiefs produced magnificent films and further advanced the art form of film, but they also created a system where they controlled the supply and demand flow and treated the artists who made the films like indentured servants. This is the story of how the servants rose up to end the traditional studio system.
