The Projection Racket
The 1930s were a golden age for Hollywood and its gangsterfilms. But behind the screen, the Mob was turning a small-time protection racket, which targetted projectionists, into a million-dollar shakedown. What began as extortion soon became a mutually beneficial arrangement. Timewatch went to Hollywood and Chicago to uncover the story of how movie moguls and Mobsters joined forces to keep the dream factory going, whatever the cost. Director Christopher Spencer ; Producer Paul Kerr

Kenneth Branagh narrates the last in the series telling the story of early film-making in Europe.
End of an Era. The final episode looks at the impact of the arrival of sound on the European film industry. Despite European technical innovation, the industry lacked investors to promote its discoveries. However, it was not sound that doomed the golden age of European film-making. With the rise to power of the Nazi party at the beginning of the 1930s, a new era dawned in film-making history; international co-productions began to fade and nationalistic propaganda films started asserting their authority.
