A Shattered Dynasty: The Empain Barons

Directed by Alice Gorissen

The story of the six barons of the Belgian Empain family. The first was a magnificent character: at a time when elected politicians proclaimed absolute freedom to produce and trade, he became an innovative, empirical and visionary entrepreneur. The latter baron conquered the jewel of the French nuclear industry, the Schneider empire, which put him in the government's sights.
