The Man in the Shadows: The Incredible Life of Jean Monnet

Directed by Rüdiger Mörsdorf

Who knows the story of the man behind the monuments? How did Jean Monnet, a young cognac merchant, become one of the founding fathers of Europe? Beyond the figure of the "Father of Europe" lies the journey of an adventurer who rubbed shoulders with the greats and played a decisive role during both world wars.
