French current affair show
Infrarouge

Strip-Tease was created by Jean Libon and Marco Lamensch. The aim of the creators was to produce documentary films of a new genre, in which the commentators take a back seat to let the protagonists have their say. The program mainly deals with excerpts from everyday life (family meals, washing up, the life of a farmer's wife). Viewers can thus recognize themselves in their daily intimacy.

A romantic, a scoundrel, a private man .... The touching and absurd story of the philosopher Albert Camus as seen through the eyes of the many women in his life.

Nazi hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld devoted twelve years of their lives to relentlessly tracking down Klaus Barbie, who had fled to Latin America under a false identity. La Traque looks back at their early exploits in Germany, through to the legal and media battles that led to the major trials in France. How was Klaus Barbie able to reinvent himself so easily and continue to wreak havoc in Bolivia with complete impunity in the 1970s? This is what this fictional account reveals, drawing its originality from the various points of view it adopts: that of the Klarsfelds, who had never before been the heroes of a fictional story, but also that of Klaus Barbie and the Bolivians, the new victims of this "exiled" barbarity. Between historical clarifications and revelations, this story forcefully reminds us that memory is not a given, but something that must be fought hard to achieve.
