When the East coast powers that be would not play ball the way they wanted, instead of resorting to remedies at-law, they moved west to a little town unknown as Hollywood.
Setting up their movie factories they lured every unsuspecting talented dreamer west for 90 years to enslave them in a system that would suck them dry and spit them out.
Eventually becomming the black propaganda arm of the U.S. government, they molded public opinion using techniques first piloted by Adolf Hitler and John Rockefeller's PR man, Ivy Lee.
This is a story about a young filmmaker that tried to tell this story and what happened to him when he took his screenplay to the executives of the handfull of major studios that now have Hollywood in a death grip.
The movie that Hollywood would NEVER greenlight.
