Producers of “Top Gun: Maverick” attempted to strip the Taiwanese and Japanese flags from Tom Cruise’s jacket; writers of “Iron Man 3” inserted a Chinese doctor into the movie who saves the life of Tony Stark. Is this “artistic license”? Or something more sinister? Who really controls the U.S. film industry? And why does the CCP want so desperately to control Hollywood? These issues are explored in the groundbreaking new film, “Hollywood Takeover: China’s Control in the Film Industry,” which pulls back the curtain on how Hollywood is helping to further a global adversary’s agenda, and reveals the brave individuals who are determined to change the tide. Q&A with Cindy Drukier, Thomas Pack.
