Dupont Dynasty
Description
DuPonts have influenced affairs of state since the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson. This documentary traces their accomplishments over two hundred years, beginning with Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours’ immigration to America. Highlights include: Eleuthere Irenee’s construction of a gunpowder business in Delaware’s Brandywine region; Lammot’s expansion into dynamite production; Pierre Samuel’s diversification into other chemical products; and the corporation’s contribution to both world wars. Despite internal tensions over the course of its history, Du Pont is now the world’s largest chemical company, with 94,000 employees globally.
