Storyline

Christophe Dechavanne recounts the provocative, scandalous, and irreverent television of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, which he experienced from the inside. From political programs to talk shows, entertainment to news programs, no genre escaped its sometimes provoked, often unexpected missteps, which amused, shocked, and even upset the public. Thanks to the testimonies of Léa Salamé, Michèle Cotta, Marie-Laure Augry, Enora Malagré, Patrice Carmouze, Alain Bougrain-Dubourg, Michel Field, Benjamin Castaldi, Eric Naulleau, and Marc-Olivier Fogiel, this documentary takes us behind the scenes of these cult sequences of French television.
