An inner view of the 2002 presidential campaign of Lionel Jospin filmed at "L'Atelier", his campaign headquarters in central Paris, with some excerpts of his electoral meetings. Here, we can see how Lionel Jospin has prepared his electoral campaign with French Socialist Party leaders, and how it has evolved during the 6 weeks of his campaign. No comments from the journalists are done. Although it doesn't explain completely Jospin's result, it shows some indications of the inefficiency of the Socialist organisation, some mistakes made by Jospin, the heaviness of the campaign commitee in which it was difficult to draw a clear direction, and to create a good climate for preparing this election. The film ends with the final unexpected failure of 21st April 2002 where Jospin was eliminated from the second round of the election, arriving only in 3rd position defeated by Jacques Chirac and Jean-Marie Le Pen, and therefore announcing his retirement from politics. Surprise, shock, disbelief and sadness prevailed that evening in the Socialist headquarters.

The special envoy In the aftermath of the results of the American elections, "Special Envoy" will be in the heart of Pennsylvania, one of the famous "Swing States", those States which can change the result. The two candidates have been engaged in one of the fiercest battles for weeks, between Trump, who seduced the white workers four years ago, and Biden, the native of the country who is trying to win them back. We have crisscrossed the state to meet these citizens whose ballot can change everything. Messages of Hope In a country where more than 10% of the population lives below the poverty line and more than 500,000 people are homeless, "Special Envoy" has also been interested in those who are trying to find solutions to heal the wounds of America. This is the case of Kevin Adler in the streets of San Francisco. He and his teams may have found a way to get the homeless off the streets by reuniting with their families. His idea is simple: volunteers, sometimes former homeless people themselves, go into contact with the homeless, ask them to introduce themselves by filming them with a smartphone, disseminate this message on social networks and their dedicated site, in hoping it will be seen by families. This association is called Miracle Messages.
