Produced by Mediapart and Premieres Lignes,
Media Crash
wants to spark debate on the concentration of the media, in France, in the hands of less than a dozen billionaires, Vincent Bolloré in the lead.
To do this, the film is released in around fifty French theaters and the screenings will often be followed by a debate.
At the microphone of
L'atelier des medias
, the co-director of
Media Crash
Valentine Oberti
, journalist at the French news site Mediapart in charge of video reports and investigations, tells the reason for this documentary.
She explains the urgency of broadcasting it two months before the French presidential election.
It is about the ideological shift taken on the antennas of CNEWS and C8, the way certain billionaires put pressure on journalists to censor them with sometimes the complicity of the State, the intimidation of journalists demanding explanations from the French government on the use of French weapons against civilians in Yemen.
The documentary ends all the same on notes of hope: “
A bit everywhere in France, new independent media are emerging.
In the newsrooms, journalists fight for you to have access to information.
