Director: Herbert J. Biberman Cast: Rosaura Revueltas, Juan Chacon, Will Geer, David Wolfe In English and Spanish with English subtitles. The Hollywood Ten is a 1950 American short documentary film. Shot in 16mm, it was created quickly to raise public awareness and legal funds for the ten blacklisted screenwriters and directors who comprised the "Hollywood Ten" who faced prison sentences for contempt of Congress stemming from their non-cooperation with the House Un-American Activities Committee Director: John Berry Screenings followed by a discussion with actor/professor Nico Baumbach and Silver City native Doyne Farmer.
