And it is the epic tale of one of Canada's great family dynasties - the Bronfmans.Edgar Bronfman Jr. was the upstart heir to the Seagram whiskey billions. He set out to transform the company into a Hollywood and entertainment giant. In Paris, Jean-Marie Messier was labeled "the most ambitious empire-builder since Napoleon".At the height of the dot.com craze they merged their empires. For a brief shining moment, Vivendi Universal epitomized the thrilling promise of media convergence. Instead there was conflict and betrayal. For the Bronfman dynasty it was a calamity costing them about $6 billion and their legendary whiskey empire. <97mn25s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
