An in-depth investigation into the private world of the American writer J. D. Salinger (1919-2010), who lived most of his life behind the impenetrable wall of a self-imposed seclusion: how his dramatic experiences during World War II influenced his life and work, his relationships with very young women, his obsessive writing methods, his many literary secrets.

Shortly after the turn of the 20th Century, a small group of entrepreneurs began making motion pictures, and went west to a small suburb of Los Angeles. They became movie moguls, tasting success beyond their wildest American Dreams.

Each installment focuses on a different era of American movie history, from the invention of the first moving pictures to the revolutionary, cutting-edge films of the 1960s.
