The movie and television industries are being unfairly blamed for their supposedly baneful influence on the young in the wake of the Littleton, Colo., school massacre, according to one of the world’s most influential filmmakers. “Hollywood gets blamed for so much, but no industry gives back as much as we do,” film mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg said when the American Jewish Committee honored him on April 28 for his humanitarian and charitable contributions. Katzenberg, along with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, runs the Dreamworks SKG film production studio.
