The documentary
How do the people of the French overseas departments and territories view the policies of the presidents of the Fifth Republic, which are generally made up of promises, followed by compromises and arrangements? Whatever their background or ideological base, have these Presidents always behaved as “guardians of the Empire”?
A look back at 64 years of close, tumultuous relations between the Élysée Palace and the French Overseas Territories, including the crises and moments of mistrust.
