- Synopsis
- At a March 2004 annual shareholder meeting, 45% of Walt Disney Co.'s shareholders withheld their support from CEO and Chairman Michael Eisner, producing a large no-confidence vote in the company's leader. The company had struggled financially in recent years and the board was widely believed to be beholden to Eisner. Two directors, Roy Disney and Stan Gold, resigned in protest of Eisner's leadership and the board's unwillingness to change. The two began to wage a PR battle calling for Eisner's removal and asking all shareholders to withhold their support from him at the upcoming shareholder meeting. Traces the history of Eisner's reign at the company and the events leading up to the March 3, 2004, shareholders meeting.
