The story of the Hollywood 10, writers blacklisted during the communist witch-hunts of the late 1940s and 1950s. Dalton Trumbo and others refused to give Congress information about the film industry and their colleagues and were jailed. Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist.

Each event begins at 1:30 p.m. with a cinema chat, the film screens at 2 p.m., and post-show discussion follows. Made possible in part by the Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s Robert H.
