Bloody Crossroads 2020 – Danny Goldberg

The ascension of Donald Trump to the presidency triggered an unprecedented level of engagement by artists and performers. Within days of the 2016 election, a critical mass of entertainers – blockbuster movie stars, art-film auteurs, Broadway dramatists, comedians, and musicians – all seemed to amplify a moral alternative to Trumpism. Bloody Crossroads 2020 is a detailed mosaic of the engagement of the entertainment community in the Democratic primaries, the COVID pandemic, the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, the conviction of sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, and the 2020 general election campaign.
