American Masters "Arthur Miller, Elia Kazan and the Blacklist"
Arthur Miller and Elia KazanThrough stock footage, film clips of Kazan's work, readings of Miller's plays, never-before-seen photographs, interviews with scholars and those who were blacklisted, as well as excerpts from Miller and Kazan's memoirs, this documentary offers a thorough examination of a disturbing time in American history. The film explores the extraordinary friendship between two American icons and offers an insider's perspective on the shadow cast by one of the darkest times in American history. Everything comes into focus: the disintegration of a friendship between two artistic soul mates, the origin of the blacklist, the key agents of the Red Scare and the damage done not only to those subpoenaed, but to America as a nation.
