When your name is erased, who are you?

Directed by Samuel J. Attias

Synopsis

In Los Angeles, a Jewish screenwriter is told to erase his name if he wants to succeed. Haunted by the ghost of Michael Curtiz and the forgotten founders of Hollywood, he embarks on a journey through diners, motels, and temples where the past refuses to stay buried. At its heart lies a question that echoes across generations: who are we, when our names are no longer ours?

The Dignity of Names

To erase a name is to erase a life.

The Jewish Legacy of Hollywood

The dream factory was built by Jews who hid their true selves to survive.

Memory as Resistance

To remember is to fight erasure and to carry the flame forward.
