The Minister

Work
"Bertrand Saint-Jean is Frances Transport Minister. Once potent and idealistic, he has become a career politician, his ambition now as important as his beliefs. Saint-Jean is woken in the middle of the night and rushed to the scene of a horrific bus accident on a treacherous mountain road, which claims the lives of most of its passengers, many of them children. In the ensuing media frenzy a fellow politician announces a campaign to privatize Frances railway stations. Saint-Jean believes the move would be disastrous and, with the help of his Chief of Staff and his Press Secretary, rallies against the proposal. But as the Minister comes under attack from all levels of government, commerce, media and the unions, and as the people around him risk being sacrificed to the machinations of government, will Saint-Jean act according to his ethics, or his ambitions?"
