INTERVIEW
Eleven anonymous fugitives, 21 days to disappear and ten investigators in their pursuit. The game Escape is back on RMC Discovery for a second season. The principle stays the same. Ambition, it is different, as explained in particular Stéphane Sallé de Chou, director of streams and documentaries of the chain.
Former professionals of the casting investigation
A gigantic game of policeman and thief, all over France. Escape, 21 days to disappear is a game very close to reality, at the limit of the documentary. For proof, among the investigators we find in particular Jean-Louis Mayer, former negotiator of RAID, surrounded by a former military or a former police officer. "We are accompanied by a command room, professionals who manage the administrative and investigation," says Jean-Louis Mayer at the microphone of Europe 1. They are responsible for tracking fictitious fugitives.
400 euros to disappear
This year, RMC Découverte wanted to "professionalize the cast of fugitive", says Stéphane Sallé de Chou. Thus, on the side of the candidates, we find Sabrina and Aurélie, that the televiewers could discover on the side of the investigators during the first season. "The eleven fugitives have 400 euros, they can shoot every two days with a non-traceable blue card," says director of the stream and documentaries of the chain. 400 euros so, but also two hours in advance, to hope to blend in the mass and disappear completely.
