This documentary explores early 20th century America, back when rapid cultural and social change fueled Hollywood’s rise, making cinema a global force.

While the 1920s remain fascinating years marked by major changes that shaped both American society and the film industry, it was also a period of time when numerous scandals hit Hollywood and the film industry pretty hard. After two decades of sexual, artistic and economic liberation, America fell into the Great Depression, leading to a moralistic and prudish shift in morals - and in Hollywood cinema, with the introduction of the Hays Code.
