Le pari des Jeux
A close-up of the final weeks of preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, from the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Marseille to the final preparations for an opening ceremony that is unprecedented in the history of the Games. This documentary offers a unique opportunity for viewers to enter places that are usually inaccessible to the general public. Meet the men and women who have been working for months to make this event a major popular celebration with international influence, and who prove, through their commitment, that surpassing oneself is not just a sporting value, but that it can permeate all areas of life.
La dernière ligne droite
The highlights of the preparations for the Games took place behind the scenes: in the secret meetings held at the Elysée Palace, behind the scenes at the Concorde and Champ-de-Mars construction sites, in the bowels of the Eiffel Tower, and at the heart of the arrangements for the Flame's arrival in Marseille.
Sous le ciel de Paris
When day breaks on July 26, 2024, the blue sky is collapsing. On the morning of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games, France is out of breath. It is raining cats and dogs in Paris. Some SNCF lines are sabotaged. The country is divided. Will the security of the ceremony be ensured? Will the event be the expected success? Twelve hours later, France is on top of the world. It is this unique day that serves as the narrative arch for this story of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. From Tony Estanguet's morning phone call to Teddy Riner and Marie-José Perec, whom he chooses as the last torchbearers, to "The Hymn to Love" on the Eiffel Tower, this July 26 allows us to tell the Games differently.
Sur le toit du monde
For 29 days, France vibrated to the rhythm of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: a close-up on the athletes who became, over the days, the beating heart of these Games.
Recently Updated Shows
The Testaments
Drama based on Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale sequel which picks up more than fifteen years after Offred's final scene, and is narrated by three female characters.
Industry
Industry follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited set of permanent positions at a top investment bank in London—but the boundaries between colleague, friend, lover, and enemy soon blur as they immerse themselves in a company culture defined as much by sex, drugs, and ego as it is by deals and dividends. As members of the group rise and fall, they must decide whether life is about more than the bottom line.
Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
Buried in the Backyard
Buried in the Backyard examines true-crime stories of victims found buried in the most unsuspecting of places. While most people enjoy their backyard as a safe haven, others are not so lucky when they discover the horrors lurking beneath well-trimmed hedges and manicured fences. Uncovering the remains is only the beginning, however, as each hour-long episode follows a unique police investigation to identify the body, determine a cause of death and find the person responsible. Captivating recreations, along with first-hand accounts from those closest to the victims and law enforcement agents involved in the case, bring each shocking tale to life. As investigators dig into the "how" and "why" surrounding each crime, viewers are taken on an unpredictable journey and reminded that this could happen to anyone - in any home, in any neighborhood.
