In 1999 Elia Kazan, director of such classics as One the Waterfront, East of Eden, and Splendor in the Grass, was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Oscar. But this honour deeply divided Hollywood for, in 1952, at the height of the blacklist, Kazan had named names. Kazan named eight former friends who had been in the Communist Party with him, and in so doing destroyed careers, lives, and relationships. Protesters lined the streets outside the Academy Awards chanting anti-Kazan slogans; Hollywood's elite were urged not to applaud Kazan. But Kazan's award did have its defenders, among them Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Arthur Miller. Miller and Kazan had once been best friends. Kazan had directed Miller's greatest successes on Broadway - All My Sons and Death of a Salesman. The two spoke every day, shared every intimacy. they had even shared a girlfriend in Marilyn Monroe. But when Kazan named names to the House Un-American Activities Committee, Miller broke off their friendship and refused to acknowledge Kazan. The two did not speak for more than 10 years. This documentary is the story of the sundering of that friendship between Miller and Kazan, and the art that it created. Using rare photographs (some never before published), archival footage, film clips of Kazan's work (A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront), and a unique staging of Miller's landmark play The Crucible, the documentary asks difficult but important questions: What happens when dissent is labeled "Un-American?" What happens when ideology, either of the left or right, dictates morality? In the face of a national security threat, is it acceptable to suspend civil liberties? If so, where do we stop and who decides? In such a climate, is there any room for the individual to act according to his own moral code? Ultimately Kazan and Miller partly settled their differences, but though they worked together again, their close off-stage relationship remained permanently damaged.
