In 1947, 2 Hollywood directors, 1 producer and 7 writers resisted the inquisition of the House Committee of UnAmerican Activities. Collectively known as the Hollywood Ten, they were charged with contempt of Congress and jailed. Trumbo is an account, by his son, of one of the most prominent of these blacklisted artists, the screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Using his father s letters and diaries he draws a remarkable picture of what it was like to lose your livelihood, your voice and even your name.
