"Hollywood Renegade" is the life story of novelist/screenwriter Budd Schulberg, who at 94-years-old, still faces the controversy surrounding his conscience-driven decisions to write a novel, "What Makes Sammy Run?", unearthing the moral corruption inside his hometown of Hollywood, and later denouncing the Communist Party in America, testifying at HUAC and naming names of people whom he once shared political ideals with. The son of film pioneer, B.P. Schulberg, Budd grew up a Hollywood prince, but was later branded a pariah for turning his back on his childhood home. He is the most prolific writer ever to come from Hollywood and this film will take you on his extraordinary journey, inextricably tied to the history of the 20th century.

This is such crap.

You needn't approve of HUAC's treatment of people who refused to testify . . . in order to support Schulberg's (and Kazan's) right to testify if they wanted to.

Want to advocate for Communist totalitarianism? Fine -- you have that right.

But what's all of this butt-hurt whining about Schulberg exercising his own rights?

Why do these people feel "betrayed" by . . . the truth?

Bottom line: they want Schulberg to do what THEY say . . . and don't like it when he doesn't.
