From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.
This Tuesday, she advises us on three programs on survival.
Spicee offers a documentary entitled "Lost in Carranza" on survival in the face of drugs, Arte is interested in the temptation of the sleeping pill in the documentary entitled "Dormir à tout prix" at 8:50 pm and Canal + tells us about the survival of a lion in the face to his fellows in "The Bastard King" at 9:05 pm.
What is the theme of tomorrow's zapping?
To survive.
Not survivalist style, but surviving temptations, addictions and dangers.
This is the case of Pablo Carranza, a skateboarding genius who got lost in a life marked by drugs and alcohol in the San Francisco ghetto.
After several years of sobriety, he plunges again.
He dives again under the eye of the camera of the director Marin Troude and decides to address his first love.
It's a very strong documentary, carried by a remarkable aesthetic and an outstanding ending.
With an additional success, that of alerting to the dangers of drugs.
This film has won awards at several festivals and can be viewed for free on the great documentary platform Spicee.
When it comes to addictions, the French love sleeping pills.
How do you survive repeated insomnia?
A little Médoc and it will be fine.
In fact no, according to Doctor Patrick Lemoine, one of the speakers in a documentary proposed by Arte, "Dormir à tout prix".
A third of the French suffer from sleep disorders and to remedy it rather than chemistry, the documentary reviews the latest scientific advances in the matter with a gentle and sometimes high-tech method.
Another tries to survive the dangers of his environment and yet he is the king of the savannah.
Joeystarr's voice playing a lion, this is the documentary event to be discovered on Canal + tonight.
For 10 years, director Owen Prümm has followed the birth of this baby lion, his first steps with his mother, how he manages to impose himself in a hostile environment.
Incredible images carried by a story or rather a tale with its share of happy chapters and others.
The story told is hardly believable.
This bastard lion, born of a connection between a female from one camp and a male from another territory, tries to be accepted by everyone.
But how true is all of this?
Or not.
An epilogue sentence provides the beginning of an answer: "what is a tale if it is not the truth coated with lies".
This is a must-see UFO documentary.
Be careful, some scenes may shock the most sensitive and the youngest.
To sum up :
- Surviving drugs in San Francisco is in "Lost in Carranza" on Spicee
- Survive insomnia is in "Dormir à tout prix" on Arte at 8:50 pm
- Survive the other lions, it's in "The Bastard King" on Canal + at 9:00 pm
