From Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros and Paramount, the Hollywood studios that helped forge a new vision of the American Dream were all founded by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. This documentary tells the story of how the Jewish movie moguls managed to redefine the image of the world's most powerful nation and, thereby, forge a new global culture. Includes interviews with Carl Laemmle, co-founder of what is now Universal Studios, film critic Leonard Maltin and author Neal Gabler.
Based on the 1988 non-fiction book An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler. The book was adapted into a documentary film in 1998 and has two titles: Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream, and Hollywood: An Empire of Their Own (title for video/DVD). The documentary won an award for Best Jewish Experience Documentary at the 1998 Jerusalem Film Festival.
