The Big Lie stars the producer of the scripted series Jon Hamm. Hamm plays an FBI agent investigating three producers of the film “Salt of the Earth” – the only movie ever named to the Hollywood Blacklist.
The Audible 7-part series takes listeners back to the “Red Scare” days of 1950’s Hollywood. The trio of outcast filmmakers try to make a movie that dramatized their pro-labor, pro-feminist beliefs. The film was portrayed by the U.S. Government as being a recruitment tool for communists.
The series debuts June 16.
