“All it took was a whisper”

DramaThriller

Owing to his alleged involvement with communist parties, film director David Merrill is forbidden from working in Hollywood. He decides to fight for his rights and faces numerous challenges.

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.
