This documentary dives into early twentieth-century America and cinema. This period of time was marked by unprecedented cultural, economic and social changes. The Hollywood industry then became the symbol of this effervescent period, when cinema took off and had a major influence on the entire world.
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.
