The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty plot

The story of Rupert Murdoch, the man who has played a pivotal role in British and American politics for the past forty years and built a globally influential media empire. The documentary begins in 1995, when prime ministerial candidate Tony Blair more or less goes for an audience with Murdoch, hoping to win his support. Filmmaker Jamie Roberts spoke with supporters and opponents of Murdoch, including politicians, journalists and people like actor Hugh Grant, whose phone was tapped by journalists from one of Murdoch's British tabloids.
