Rachel Abrams: New York Times producer and reporter on her book Unscripted- a real life Succession story - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

'Unscripted' recaps the final years of media mogul Sumner Redstone and has been billed as a true-life Succession story.

The book depicts Redstone, his family and the power struggle and dysfunction within their multi-billion dollar entertainment empire Paramount Global.

This story was first broke by esteemed journalists Rachel Abrams and James B Stewart, who collaborated on the book. 

New York Times producer and reporter Rachel Abrams says this was one of the most fascinating stories she's worked on, as it was a family drama to its core.

"It is about this multi-billion dollar empire, but what it's also about is a father/daughter story. It's the story of a parent who withholds love and affection from a child who yearns for it up until the day that he dies."
