Alexandre Trudeau
Alexandre (Sacha) Trudeau (born December 25, 1973) is a Canadian journalist, and the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau.
The second of three children born to Pierre and Margaret Trudeau during Pierre's term in office, Sacha Trudeau was a media sensation, just like his brothers, when he was born. However, Pierre and Margaret tried as much as possible to protect their children from the public eye, and after Pierre retired as Prime Minister in 1984, he raised them in relative privacy in Montreal.
When Pierre Trudeau passed away in 2000, both Alexandre Trudeau and his older brother Justin returned to the public eye. Although Alexandre was visibly more reserved and quiet than his brother, his heightened public profile brought new attention to his work as a journalist. In the next few years, he produced documentaries for Canadian television. In 2003, he was one of the highest-profile Canadian journalists covering the 2003 invasion of Iraq, producing a 60-minute documentary film for CTV, Embedded in Iraq.
Trudeau is also a director of Canada World Youth, and of the Trudeau Foundation for excellence in social sciences and humanities research and innovation.
