When European fascism was on the rise, the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League organised demonstrations that attracted thousands of people. Thus, it was no surprise that Hollywood mobilized itself vigorously and spoke out against Donald Trump in the 2016 US Presidential campaign. From Marlon Brando & Harry Belafonte supporting the Civil Rights Movement, to Jane Fonda’s condemnation of the Vietnam War; from Ronald Reagan & Arnold Schwarzenegger’s terms in office to the new-age activism of celebrities like Angelina Jolie, George Clooney & Leonardo DiCaprio- politics’ tryst with Hollywood refuses to end.
