“When the government goes into the business of destroying trust, it goes into the business of destroying itself.”
Arthur Miller
A series of meetings, mostly in 1952, between Arthur Miller and Elia Kazan.
The HUAC meetings are underway, and the men may be targets.
Kazan was a member of the US Communist Party, Miller attended a few meetings.
Neither did anything overtly wrong, but the Committee is more interested in those who held influence.
Also who else belonged. Who were the other traitors? Names. What were their names?
Heady play about witch hunts and persecution, a cycle that resurrects over and over.
Miller would fashion his experience into “The Crucible”. Kazan … is what he is.
He is left to ponder Miller’s phrase about the gap between what’s right and what seems best for you.
