For decades, Hollywood has captured the imagination. But what happens when it turns into a tool of war?
Drawing on emotion, the Chinese Communist Party has mastered how to sway public opinion in its favor. And much of Hollywood has played along, self-censoring in an attempt to get a piece of the massive Chinese economy. But all of this comes at a heavy cost.
There’s an increasing military focus in current global conflicts. But amid that, there’s another kind of power that’s less spoken about: soft power. Communist China hasn’t only been building up its military might, it’s been honing its soft power over the years, infiltrating every aspect of our lives, changing the way we view the world, and all without firing a bullet.
This documentary delves into the story of Hollywood’s entry into the Chinese market and over the years, finding out what it will cost them—not just the industry, but the very fabric of America.
