Hollywood, China & the Film Industry

Competition between the US and China is at the center of our foreign policy landscape, from battles over trade to technology to military might, and now: movies. In “Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy,” reporter Erich Schwartzel from The Wall Street Journal takes us behind the scenes of the latest power struggle, waged in Hollywood studios and Beijing propaganda film sets. Join Schwartzel and Isaac Stone Fish (“America Second”) at Chicago Humanities Festival for a chat about political history, national agendas, and show-biz intrigue.
