François Mitterrand: Family Albums

Directed by Hugues Nancy and Fabien Beziat

With Mazarine Pingeot, Gilbert Mitterrand, Jean-Christophe Mitterrand and Didier Bezace

Twenty years after his death, François Mitterrand remains an enigma. Never before has a French politician generated so much contradictory comments, both during his lifetime and after his death. Beyond his political career, his complex and mysterious personality continues to fascinate. To lift a corner of the veil, Jean-Christophe and Gilbert Mitterrand and Mazarine Pingeot agreed to share some private memories of their father. By leafing through François Mitterrand's photographic albums, it is possible to reconstruct his personal journey, from his childhood years through to his life with Anne Pingeot and his daughter Mazarine.
