Season 6, Episode 89 of 99

Two candidates face off this weekend in the French presidential election runoff. Centrist Emmanuel Macron, who at 39 years old would become France's youngest president ever, will vie against the far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen, who would be the country's first woman president. Both candidates are outsiders, not members of the traditional ruling parties, and they offer starkly different plans for France. Macron is pro-diversity and pro-European union. Le Pen is protectionist and wants to pull France out of the E.U. Special Correspondent Christopher Livesay reports from France on how young voters are siding with one candidate or the other.
