Ted Turner: The Maverick Man
Innovator, visionary, trailblazer, humanitarian – Cable News Network founder, Ted Turner, is the subject of a profile encompassing his remarkable life and achievements. Reported by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, this special explores his difficult early years, his extraordinary career, his legendary America's Cup win, Turner's historic humanitarian, environmental, and cable television legacies – and everything in between.
Blitzer traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, and outside of Bozeman, Montana – to Turner's Flying D Ranch – where Turner works to preserve bison and land and water reserves for future generations – for the exclusive profile as Turner approaches his 75th birthday in 2013. During revealing interviews with Blitzer, Turner opens up about his successes and failures, both personal and in business. Intimate interviews with Turner's five children and key figures in his life, including ex-wife Jane Fonda, President Jimmy Carter, broadcaster Larry King, Atlanta Braves MLB players Phil Niekro and Dale Murphy, and former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn, add additional layers to the complex portrait.
