Sergio Marchionne is most known for his incredible feat of saving the iconic Italian Fiat car company from the brink of bankruptcy and revolutionizing the market. Emigrating to Canada as a young boy with his family, Marchionne worked his way through countless positions until he found himself as CEO of multiple companies. His automotive and business achievements sent ripples throughout the industry and the media. His blunt, straight-forward approach demanded excellence from everyone in all areas, while his low-profi le attire and attitude towards journalists kept his private affairs private. There were few who were close enough to the automotive businessman before his death, but the question still remains: who was Sergio Marchionne? The documentary produced by Mario Rossini perfectly portrays his entrepreneurial journey, encompasses his life and his largerthan-life character, as well as his Italian-Canadian identity, unveiling the man behind the legend.
