Emmanuel Macron, President of France

Emmanuel Macron had never held a political office when he became France's president in 2017. Two years into his presidency, protests broke out against a new gas tax he had created. He responded by holding a series of public debates where French citizens could voice their concerns. He knew that one of his most important jobs as the nation's leader was listening to the people. But the challenges he would face were far from over. Part of the World Leaders series, Emannuel Macron, President of France tells the story of the youngest person ever elected to the French presidency, and where this role has taken both Macron and his nation.
