François Mitterrand : le roman du pouvoir

The read

The series ran 1 season across 4 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

Jean Lacouture and Patrick Rotman interview the witnesses of François Mitterrand's life. Their testimonies, which both complement and contradict each other, write the story of a life: the youth, the Vichy regime and the Resistance during the Second World War, the Fifth Republic and the Algerian war, the conquest of the Elysée, the backstage of power and the secrets of a president.
