Dalton Trumbo was an American film and television screenwriter and novelist. He was one of the Hollywood Ten, the group of film professionals who refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of Communist influences in the American motion picture industry. While blacklisted and not permitted to work, he won two Academy Awards in the category "Best Writing" for "Roman Holiday", originally given to front writer Ian McLellan Hunter, and for "The Brave One", awarded to Robert Rich, one of Trumbo's pseudonyms.

Himself (archive footage)
O roteirista Dalton Trumbo tem uma história singular em Hollywood: apesar de ter escrito algumas das histórias de maior sucesso da época, como A Princesa e o Plebeu (1953), ele se recusou a cooperar com o Comitê de Atividades Antiamericanas do congresso e acabou preso e proibido de trabalhar.

A War in Hollywood
Self (archive footage)
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of that era, so many movies were made in Hollywood about it. The final defeat of the Spanish Republic left an open wound in the hearts of those who sympathized with its cause. The eventful life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie (1904-1985), one of the Hollywood Ten, serves to analyze this sadness, the tragedy of Spain and its consequences.

The film takes place in the mind of a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Tapping his head in Morse code he breaks through and pleads with his caretakers to be put on display as a living example of the cost of war.
Trumbo
Himself (archive footage)
Through a focus on the life of Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976), this film examines the effects on individuals and families of a congressional pursuit of Hollywood Communists after World War II. Trumbo was one of several writers, directors, and actors who invoked the First Amendment in refusing to answer questions under oath. They were blacklisted and imprisoned. We follow Trumbo to prison, to exile in Mexico with his family, to poverty, to the public shunning of his children, to his writing under others' names, and to an eventual but incomplete vindication. Actors read his letters; his children and friends remember and comment. Archive photos, newsreels and interviews add texture. Written by
