Titans (2001) picks up where Peter C. Newman's 1998 book of the same title -- which chronicles the demise of the Old Establishment and the formation of a new brand of men and women who now run Canada's economy -- leaves off. Instead, the Titans documentary focuses on the critical leading members of the New Establishment and precisely what they are doing as individuals and within their tight networks. It gets behind the headlines and shows how volatile a world it is for today's business elite. The documentary is divided into four sixty-minute episodes: Part I, The New Titans, featuring Gerry Schwartz, Heather Reisman, James Allen (Jimmy) Pattison, and Isadore (Issy) Sharp and directed by Terry McEvoy; Part II, The Media Titans, featuring Ted Rogers, Israel (Izzy) Asper, Leonard Asper, Moses Znaimer, Michael McMillan, Robert Lantos, Peter Sussman, Phil Lind, Phyllis Yaffee, Peter C. Newman, and Daniel Richler and directed by Elliot Schiff and Moira Simpson; Part III Titans of Cash, featuring Charlie Baillie, Scott Patterson, Murray Edwards, Harrison McCain, and Rob Gemmell and directed by Moira Simpson; and Part IV Titans of Tech, featuring John Roth, Jim Balsillie, Mike Lazaridus, Terry Matthews, and Jozef Straus and directed by Andrew Burnstein. Judy Rebick narrates Titans.
