JEAN ZIEGLER, THE HAPPINESS OF BEING SWISS

Jean Ziegler is a sociology professor and a radical Swiss politician. An old-school Communist and a media star. The author of controversial books on Swiss history, politics, and economics, on topics such as the role of Swiss banking in upholding both the Nazi regime in World War Two and South Africas racist system of Apartheid. Zieglers recently-published autobiography carries the ironic title The Joy of Being Swiss, which Ana Ruiz also used for her filmic portrait of him.
