Description
The Jewish immigrants who shaped America's motion picture industry were outsiders who dared to invent their own vision of the American Dream. Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, and Adolph Zucker were the giants behind the creation of Hollywood, bringing with them a unique set of values that continue to influence American cinema and culture. Their story is one of innovation, perseverance, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
