The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives responsible for investigating potential disloyalty and subversive activities, including Communist influence, in the United States. It famously conducted hearings on the film industry in Hollywood in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Hollywood Ten were a group of ten screenwriters and directors who refused to testify before the HUAC, while the Office of War Information and Motion Picture Export Association were not directly involved in investigating Communist influence in Hollywood.
