The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) began investigating Hollywood in the late 1940s due to growing concerns about communist influence in American society, particularly during the Cold War. They targeted the film industry as a key cultural medium that could potentially spread communist ideology. The committee sought to identify and root out alleged communist sympathizers among filmmakers, writers, and actors, leading to high-profile hearings and the blacklisting of many in the industry. This investigation reflected broader fears of subversion and espionage during a time of heightened anti-communist sentiment in the United States.
That process is typically referred to as conducting an interview. It involves asking targeted questions to gather information from a person or group of people in order to further an investigation or research.
A committee in the House of Representatives that was intended to expose/counter communist subversion in the United States. The House Committee on Un-American Activities, also called HUAC, began in 1938 as part of a second "Red Scare" in the United States. It led to an anti-communist crusade to investigate subversive and un-American Propaganda. The Committee also targeted University professors and strongly urged, threatened, them to cut objectionable material out of courses. It lost a great deal of credibility after attempting to charge film stars, most notably 8-year-old Shirley temple, with being communists. In 1948, ten Hollywood writers and directors were charged with contempt of Congress for failing to answer questions by the committee. They were jailed for a year in 1950, and "blacklisted" by the studios, who sought to avoid Congressional interference in the entertainment industry.

In 1947 the House Un-American Affairs Committee targeted Hollywood.The committee held nine days of hearings into alleged communist propaganda and influence in Hollywood's movies, resulting in more than 300 actors, directors, screenwriters, and radio commentators were boycotted by the Hollywood studios who produced the alledgedly anti-American movies. Ten actors and directors refused to participate and were convicted of Contempt of Congress and blacklisted. Several famous writers, directors, and actors such as Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Paul Robeson chose to leave the country so to live and work in Europe. Others wrote under pseudonyms or the names of colleagues and only about ten percent succeeded in rebuilding their careers within the entertainment industry

Groups that were wanting to overthrow government
A Senator named Joseph McCarthy made a public accusation that more than two hundred “card-carrying” Communistshad infiltrated the United States government. Though his accusations were proven to be untrue, his zealous campaigning produced in one of the most repressive times in 20th-century American politics. This was sometimes called the Red Scare.
An antonym for "witch-hunt" could be "justice," where a fair and impartial investigation or prosecution takes place rather than a targeted and malicious pursuit of individuals.
The Hollywood Ten consisted of ten film directors and writers who refused to answer questions from Congress about communism and who might be communists in Hollywood. Upon not responding, they were cited by the House for contempt of Congress and served one-year sentences in 1950. The main effect of the investigation by the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) was that Hollywood studios, anxious to avoid regulation and bad publicity, would not allow those who were blacklisted to find employment.
