Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo

In early 1972, 30-year-old journalist and editor, Ita Buttrose and 35-year-old Kerry Packer, heir to what was then Australia's most ruthlessly powerful and influential publishing family, got together to create a magazine that became one of the most dramatic sensations in Australian publishing history. CLEO went on to help define women, Australia and the relationship between the two.

With Cleo magazine a hit, Ita faces the challenge of maintaining its fresh and challenging perspective issue after issue. With his father ill and bears circling to take hold of the Packer empire, Kerry must take a leap of faith to secure his bid for the crown.
