For the first time, the Prime Ministers of France are brought together in a documentary series to bear witness to a unique experience: the hell of Matignon. Pierre Messmer, Raymond Barre, Pierre Mauroy, Laurent Fabius, Michel Rocard, Edith Cresson, Edouard Balladur, Alain Juppé, Lionel Jospin, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Dominique de Villepin, and François Fillon have all agreed to participate. Those who have governed France for the past 35 years speak candidly about the practice of power, a story chronicled through archival footage. As the Fifth Republic approaches its 50th anniversary, and texts envisioning a Sixth are being published, the position of Prime Minister—torn between the President and Parliament, appointed without necessarily being elected, yet responsible for everything—is at the heart of the debate.

Maurice Papon, a high-ranking official under the Vichy regime, oversaw the deportation of hundreds of Jews from the Gironde prefecture in 1942. After the war, he enjoyed a prestigious career as a prefect, member of parliament, and minister without ever facing any repercussions. In 1981, the newspaper “Le Canard enchaîné” revealed his role during the Occupation, backed by documents, leading to a complaint for crimes against humanity. After 16 years of legal proceedings, his trial began in 1997. Accused of complicity in the deportation of 1,600 Jews, he claimed he was merely obeying government orders and acting under coercion from the Nazi occupiers, while the prosecution emphasized his conscious responsibility. Sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment in 1998 following a trial lasting more than six months, he was released in 2002 for health reasons. This trial, a belated symbol of the accountability of public officials, continues to fuel reflection on individual responsibility.
