Man in the Arena

Watch for free, compliments of Hillsdale College

Many recognize Roger Ailes as the founding CEO of FOX News, which revolutionized the cable TV news landscape. But how did he get there? What made him tick?

Man in the Arena, a full-length documentary, chronicles the life and accomplishments of Ailes. More than three decades before founding FOX News, Ailes got his start as a local television producer, winning two Emmys along the way and becoming a sought-after producer, director, documentarian, corporate consultant, and political strategist who helped to elect three U.S. presidents.

Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight and featuring extensive private audio from Ailes himself that he recorded over a 30-year period as well as interviews with leading media and political figures, Man in the Arena is an intimate, gripping look at the life and work of a man who forever changed the world of news media.
