Looking for Nicolas Sarkozy

Never has a French president caused so much turmoil on all fronts, both nationally and internationally, often in a voluntary manner, as Nicolas Sarkozy.

The president's personality and his policies, so different from his predecessors, have drawn many comments from the media abroad, fascinated by the complexity of his character. This documentary offers to analyse in depth the man through this intensive media coverage.

Key figures of the media world, such as John Simpson (BBC), Lesley Stahl (CBS), Thomas L. Friedman (NY Times), Jan Fleischhauher (Der Spiegel), just to name a few, will be asked to the draw the intriguing portrait of a true political chameleon. Has Sarkozy impacted the image of France worldwide?
