This extract sheds light on the relationship between three of America's most powerful men: Ronald Reagan, Lew Wasserman and Sidney Korshak, to understand how their links changed the course of history and Reagan's own. This investigation is backed up by archive materials and interviews with investigative journalists, biographers, a Federal Attorney and James Ellroy, an outspoken fan of Ronald Reagan, who talks about a country that beneath all the Hollywood glitz and glamour is thoroughly corrupt. One of the questions posed by this documentary is how a simple B-movie actor could become President. Over the course of his career, Ronald Reagan surrounded himself with powerful men, including Lew Wasserman, Hollywood's most powerful producer, and Sidney Korshak, one of America's most powerful lawyers. Both have links with the Mafia and the underworld. Their links with the mafia have enabled them to assert their domination over the film industry and the world of entertainment. By elevating Ronald Reagan to the highest echelons of power, Wasserman and Korshak guaranteed their hegemony.
