Guilty by Suspicion
“All it took was a whisper”
DramaThriller
This compelling story vividly recreates Hollywood's infamous 'Blacklist Era'. The witch-hunt has begun and director David Merrill can revive his stalled career by testifying against friends who are suspected communists. Merrill's ex wife shares a whirlpool of scandals that draws them closer together while his chances for ever making movies again slips further away...
VIBE
A chillingly relevant look at McCarthyism's Hollywood purge. It feels like a tense, morally complex drama where careers and friendships hang precariously in the balance. The atmosphere is thick with suspicion and the weight of difficult choices.
