The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair

In 1934, famed writer and socialist Upton Sinclair swept the Democratic primary for governor of California, leading a mass End Poverty movement. To defeat him that fall, his opponents created one of the dirtiest, and most influential, campaigns in U.S. history, and Hollywood took its first all-out plunge into politics. Directed by Greg Mitchell and Produced by Lyn Goldfarb.
