How Hollywood Alienated Middle America—And What’s Next | Nick Searcy

American Thought Leaders - A podcast by The Epoch Times

How has Hollywood changed in the last several decades, and why are film productions leaving Los Angeles and increasingly going abroad? Where is the industry headed, and what role should Trump’s “special ambassadors” to Hollywood play?“Hollywood spent probably the last 15 or 20 years basically telling half of its audience that they don’t want them to watch, that they hate them, that they’re deplorables,” says actor and filmmaker Nick Searcy. “They’ve driven half the audience away.”Searcy played James Baker in the Reagan biopic last year and is perhaps best known for his role as Art Mullen in the crime drama “Justified.” He’s also the director of “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” a film about an abortion doctor who was convicted for the murder of three babies.A few months ago, Searcy released his memoir, “Justify This: A Career Without Compromise.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
