Trumbo (dir by Peter Askin, Written by Christopher Trumbo, 2007, Samuel Goldwyn/Red Envelope)
Trumbo is the movie which blends interviews, original footage, and beautiful letters written by the eccentric and brilliantly eloquent blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo .. and it beautifully explores this unique personality as seen by his colleagues, friends and family, and conveys the human effects of the Red Scare Mongering that gripped the US Congress and the Entertainment Media in the 1950s and 1960s. Very highly recommended.

Trumbo is one of the most powerful films released in a time where we need to remember history - recall government and social rights - Eloquent, Peter Askin's directions of the script reflects what our nations potential troubles might be and how we can over come them. Congratulations to the producers and actors that were brave enough to see the impact of this kind of film - a documentary tour de force.
