For those who don't want to bother, the interviews cover how the military industrial complex and Hollywood are joined at the hip in such a way that movie scripts about the military are rewritten, censored, and manipulated to depict US military conduct in a way that suits the military image of itself. What Hollywood gets is access and use of many of those very expensive war toys like tanks, aircraft, carriers and the like.
The panelist explain this system makes it expensive and difficult to produce movies that are critical of the US and its military operations.
