We're embarking on a turbulent journey through the life of one of the most influential figures in entertainment history – the man behind the magic, Walt Disney (1901-1966). Walt was a pioneering American entrepreneur, animator, film producer, and creator of one of the most renowned entertainment companies in the world. But the beloved creator of Mickey Mouse faced a slew of criticism around accusations of gender bias, antisemitism, opposition to unions, retaliation, and an overbearing demeanor. We explore his life, the formation of the Disney company, and the not-so-magical side of Walt Disney.
