Unscripted

Sex and Lies in a Hollywood Media Empire

Summary

'Explosive' Esquire
'Epic' Financial Times
'Riveting' Vanity Fair

Sumner Redstone was the CEO of Hollywood's most powerful company: in charge of Indiana Jones and Star Wars, film studios and TV production companies, a fleet of private jets and tailor-made jewellery lines. He was notorious for his fearsome temper, his all-consuming ambition and his pledge to live forever. Until, one day, he lost control.

Unscripted is the story of an empire embroiled in scandal, a will in tatters, and a family on the edge of self-destruction. It sounds too outrageous to be true - except it is.
