The most powerful media family in the world are facing off in a secret courtroom battle in the U.S.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch wants his son Lachlan to have control over the vast media empire’s future, but his other children are trying to block that from happening.

In today’s TDA deep dive, we look at who Lachlan Murdoch is, why his family are engaged in a real-life succession drama, and why it matters for democracy.

Producer: Orla Maher
