A devoted friend

On the night of November 13, 2015, Christelle, like the rest of the country, was in shock. She had been at every Eagles of Death Metal concert in Paris. But this time, she wasn't there. However, she contacted several victims to offer her support and found companionship and purpose among these survivors. When the idea of creating an association took shape, Chris became an essential part of it.

Une Amie Dévouée (A Devoted Friend) is the very first miniseries produced for the HBO MAX platform in France. This psychological thriller is loosely based on Alexandre Kauffmann's investigative book La Mythomane du Bataclan (The Mythomaniac of the Bataclan), published by Éditions de la Goutte d'Or in 2021.

Our latest achievements

Breathe

When she starts high school, Tessa, a 16-year-old teenager who dreams of becoming a singer, puts all the odds in her favor by choosing the music option. But very quickly, she becomes disillusioned.

The Unpunished

This is not the story of one man, even though this doctor was at the center of the most significant child abuse case ever tried in France. It is the story of those who did not stop him and whose actions will never be brought to trial. This series recounts the collective denial in the face of violence against children.
