Bacardi

Simon Reeve looks at the history of the Bacardi family business, from their beginnings in Cuba, to their world domination: bacardi rum is now the biggest selling spirit in the world. He interviews various members of the family, including a Bacardi heiress who has been suing her mother for her inheritance for over a decade, the ex-Bacardi wife who needs thirty thousand dollars a month to live, and the forgotten Bacardis left behind in Cuba. He also investigates reports that Bacardi money has funded terrorism against Castro’s Cuba, and an allegation that a Bacardi boss offered the Mafia a hundred thousand dollars to get Castro.
