Bagdad, chronique d’une ville emmurée
Baghdad is immured in fear, unease and violence. Among the cities of this world, the Iraqi capital has suffered the highest number of terrorist attacks.
Its 8 million inhabitants have lived through the bloody end of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship, the American occupation, and the revival of a religious war between Sunnis and Shias with the emergence of ISIS. Now all players fight for control over a territory of which Baghdad is the epicente
The film is a chronicle of the city, of Baghdadis who fear for their lives at every outing, of their despair as well as their incredible spark of humanity.

Boko Haram - Les origines du Mal
An exclusive and chilling investigation into the origins of the Islamic terrorist group and its bloody rise, fuelled by army abuses.
On April 14 2014 over 250 schoolgirls were abducted by the Boko Haram group in Chibok in northern Nigeria. This outrageous act heralded the birth in international media of an Islamic sect which had been in existence for over ten years in the region. Soon after this, its leader, Abubakar Shekau, proclaimed his allegiance to the black flag of the Islamic State organization.
The maker of a highly acclaimed documentary about the struggle of the Peshmerga Kurds against Daesh, war reporter and director, Xavier Muntz, has undertaken an investigation in the war torn region where the group came into being in 2002, to try to uncover the reasons behind its extreme violence. Hundreds of abductions, tens of thousands of murders, dozens of suicide bombings, hundreds of razed villages, not only in northern Nigeria, but also now in Cameroon, Chad, Niger...: a savagery that the Nigerian giant, despite now being supported by its neighbors, is still struggling to contain.
Through the testimonies of civilian survivors of the attacks, community leaders, local and international observers, this film tries to deciphers the dizzying ascent of what began as an Islamic sect, supported by many Muslims in the area, under the rule of its charismatic leader, Mohammed Yusuf. At first defended for electoral purposes by the regional powers, and then hounded by the authorities, the army in a fierce military crackdown summarily executed him in 2009, which far from defeating Boko Haram, heralded the start of a merciless war.
This penetrating insight into a conflict which has been as widely publicized as misunderstood, serves to expose, in addition to the atrocities of Boko Haram, the overwhelming responsibility of the Nigerian army in a bloody conflict that has caused some 32,000 civilian deaths.

Investigation on the Daesh coalition
A film by Laurent Richard
Production: Premières Lignes in association with Canal+
Original 90 minutes documentary shot in Iraq, Europe and the United States that reveals the failures of the war against Daesh and how a coalition of 60 international countries lead by the United States has yet to defeat the jihadists group of 30.000 men.
Journalist Laurent Richard has gathered a great number of testimonies and goes behind the scenes of underground military operations lead by the CIA in Iraq and Syria.
Some of the witnesses affirm that the White House was backing their operations and have now been “abandoned” by American advisers. Some even decided to switch camps and are now fighting the Bachar Al Assad government with the Islamic State.
This investigation that lasted a year, reveals the hidden agendas of the allied coalition that has been caught up in this war since 2011.
Six years later, the number of people killed in Syria now amounts to more than 300.000. The government of Bachar that keeps on bombing and torturing its population, is said to be responsible for 80% of those deaths.

The fight for Yemen
In September 2014, after 4 days of fighting, Houthi rebels took control of Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. A few days later, Safa Al Ahmad, a BBC journalist, managed to enter Yemen. She is the only journalist to have filmed for a western television station, a considerable feat in a country cut off from the world for several months. The film is an outstanding document, the result of a highly risky journey which begins in Saada, the province of the Houthis in the north of the country. It was from here that the Houthis began their conquest of Yemen, a country divided into tribal zones, some of which are loyal to the arch-enemies of the Houthis – Al Qaeda.

In the Name of the Temple
During the 6-Day War of June 1967, Israeli soldiers occupied the Temple Mount. This was the site of the Temple, the most holy place in Judaism, which had been destroyed by the Romans 2,000 years earlier. For nationalist rabbis, capture of the Mount confirmed their vision: Zionism is the herald of redemption. ‘In the Name of the Temple’ is the first documentary, drawing on exclusive interviews, to examine the emergence of messianic religious Zionism.
In order to seize possession of what they consider to be the Land of Israel, the Zionists sent their followers to colonise the Left Bank and Gaza. After spurning every single peace initiative, they are now preparing to build a new Jewish Temple on the site of the Al Aqsa holy mosques, the third most holy site of Islam.
