Not Seen, Not Caught poster
7.5

On April 2, 1995, the television channel Canal+ censored the documentary "Pas vu à la télé" (Not Seen on TV), directed by Pierre Carles, which had been commissioned a few weeks earlier by the program director, Alain de Greef. "Pas vu à la télé" was slated to be featured in Canal+'s "TV Day" segment, under the heading "Television, Power, Morality." Carles recounted this censorship in the feature film "Pas vu pas pris" (Not Seen, Not Caught), released in theaters on November 18, 1998. It drew over 160,000 viewers. Eighteen years later, "Pas vu à la télé" remains unaired on French television. As for "Pas vu, pas pris," it has still not been broadcast on French television. However, it has been shown on television in Belgium, Quebec, and Switzerland. Since then, nine billionaires now control more than 80% of the media in France, while eleven of them account for 57% of the television audience.

La TV des 70's : Quand Giscard était président poster
7.2

In May 1974, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing became President of the Republic and wanted to bring about a new era of modernity. One of his first decisions was to break up the ORTF with the creation of three new television channels: TF1, Antenne 2 and FR3. Three new public channels but autonomous and competing. It is a race for the audience which is engaged then, and from now on the channels will make the war! This competition will give birth to a real golden age for television programs, with variety shows in the forefront. The stars of the song are going to invade the living rooms of the French for their biggest pleasure. This unedited documentary tells the story of the metamorphosis of this television of the early 1970s, between freedom of tone, scandals, political intrigues and programs that have become mythical.

Jean-Claude Darmon - L'argentier : L'homme, le pouvoir, le foot poster
NR

He never scored a single goal as a professional, but he profoundly transformed soccer. Starting from nothing, Jean-Claude Darmon ushered in a new era for the sport: one of business and spectacle. Sponsorship, marketing, television rights—he designed it all, negotiated it all, and turned it all upside down. Between confidential agreements, daring moves, and ego rivalries, his rise to the top reads like an epic tale.

Jean-Luc Delarue, 10 ans déjà : de succès en excès poster
8.0

Dark suit, white shirt, earpiece and wooden plate ..., his style remains anchored in the collective memory. Favorite host́ of the French during the 2000s, ideal son-in-law successful producer, his rank of star and flayed́ alive have caused him to burn his wings and lose his feet. This documentary evening recounts the breathless life journey and the twists and turns of Jean-Luc Delarue's career. Telling Jean-Luc Delarue is to tell several lives, the ambivalence of the character publicly strong, powerful and ambitious, but ultra-sensitive and tortured in the intimacy.

Since his sensational arrival at the head of the 20 Hours, Cédric Saint Guérande, known as "CSG" is THE favorite presenter of the French. His insolent audiences stoke the jealousy even within La Grande Chaîne which he is the undisputed star. His thirst for power is limitless, which displeases the new president of the chain. The war is declared between the two men for the great pleasure of CSG. Power games, networking, manipulations and low shots: the fight will be merciless, and the outcome necessarily spectacular. Welcome to the media circus games.
