Hollywood and the Pentagon: Is this the end?

Hollywood has had a close relationship with the Pentagon for decades - some films are even given access to聽real weapons, fighter jets and ships.

But now a congressman wants a legal change to prohibit the US Department of Defense from helping Hollywood studios if they edit content to make it palatable to the Chinese government - recently there have been controversies over the Taiwanese flag in Top Gun: Maverick and a map of the South China sea in Barbie.
