Synopsis

China has been actively interfering in the workings of the Hollywood industry for nearly two decades, so that movies are no longer made on subjects its totalitarian government does not like — free Tibet or Taiwanese independence — and prominent stars who oppose such tyranny are dispensed with: a behind-the-scenes look at how the dream machine has been totally compromised by the abusive power of a ruthless dictatorship.
