Quel regard ont-ils porté sur l’élection de 2007, le Bling Bling, le pouvoir personnel, les dérapages, la mise au pas des médias, les crises financières et politiques, les fiascos diplomatiques, les accusations de népotisme avec l’affaire Jean Sarkozy, le divorce et le mariage à grand spectacle, la course aux voix du Front National, la chasse aux Roms, le Printemps Arabe, la guerre en Libye, la chute dans les sondages, l’élection de 2012, etc. À travers le point de vue de ces journalistes prestigeux, tous fascinés par la complexité du personnage, et à l'aide d'archives du monde entier, William Karel nous offre plus qu'un portrait ou un bilan, une chronique (im)pertinente et sans concession du règne de Nicolas Sarkozy.

Dans les bars de Tel Aviv, la nuit, la réalisatrice demande à des jeunes Juifs s'ils auraient des relations sexuelles avec des Arabes, et à des jeunes Arabes s'ils feraient l'amour avec des Juifs. Chacun donne son avis, avec plus ou moins d'explications, sur le symbole que cela peut représenter pour eux (beaucoup l'ont déjà fait) ou au contraire leur refus. Des jeunes issus de familles mixtes (un parent juif, l'autre arabe) sont également interviewés. Le film recueille aussi les témoignages du journaliste Gideon Levy et de l'acteur Juliano Mer-Khamis, de mère juive et de père arabe, assassiné en 2011 par des Palestiniens à Jénine.

Vanderbilt goes to Vienna, to see Chancellor Dollfuss, and he films several Austrian Nazi riots during a parade. In a re-enactment, Vanderbilt's passport is stolen, and there are several shots of Nazis abusing Jews. In yet another re-enactment, Vanderbilt interviews Crown Prince Wilhelm, and more books are burned. Helen Keller talks to an interviewer about her books, which were burned by the Nazis. Then a conversation Vanderbilt, Kaiser Wilhelm II in Doorn, Holland, and Prince Louis Ferdinand had is re-enacted. Actual anti-Nazi speeches given by prominent Jews and some Gentiles are shown and the Nazis are shown trying to alter the Bible. In the final scene, Congressman Samuel Dickstein of New York and Hill give speeches directly to the audience, explaining the dangers of Nazism.

The advance publicity booklet on the film when it was entitled "Africa Sings", touted it as showing "what the white man achieved for himself" and "what he has done for he natives." "Africa Sings" was one of the first documentary films from South Africa to take a look at the lives of South Africans of all races. There are images of location life, schools and colleges, and a cross-section of occupations, from mine-workers to road-gangs, school-teachers to house- servants, waiters to cane-cutters. Mainstream reviewers gave the documentary a tepid response; the London Daily Worker thought it was too bland to serve a staunch liberationist purpose.
