- The effects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are told from different points of view around the world.
- From the Gilded Age to the present day, the history of modern America has been one of wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a few families with enormous fortunes. 120 years ago, a capitalist Eldorado emerged in the USA, paving the way for personalities like Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. How did the power of the super-rich consolidate itself, especially during the economic crisis after 1929 or during Ronald Reagan's policy of deregulation and tax cuts in the 1980s? Using extensive archive footage, this three-part documentary mini-series explores this question and tells in detail the history of American capitalism over a period of 150 years: from Rockefeller to today's plutocrats like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, to the Wall Street crash of 1929 that triggered the Great Depression to the global financial crisis of 2007/2008.
- Filmmaker Christophe Otzenberger is admitted in a Hospital for a lung cancer. Assisted with Stéphane Mercurio, he interviews patients of the institute on how they live with their disease and face the prospect of the end of life.
- The movie Rocky IV tells the story of the victory of the American boxer over a Soviet opponent. Deep down, it's also about the victory of neo-liberalism over a dwindling socialism. In the film, the fourth in the series played again by actor Sylvester Stallone, Rocky takes a terrible beating but refuses to fall. He became an emblem of the 1980s, its boisterous culture and larger than life heroes.
- He was the first (blond) fallen angel of rock. By disappearing at the age of 27, drowned in his swimming pool on July 3, 1969, Brian Jones inaugurated the macabre list of rock's shooting stars: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, all decimated at the same age by a too toxic lifestyle. Mounted very early in London, one of the first "slide guitar" players recruits beginners named Mick Jagger, Keith Richards or Charlie Watts, chooses the name "Rolling Stones", defines the garage sound and blues, and inspires the bad boy side of the band. But endowed with a shy, insecure temperament, Brian Jones is gradually crushed by the creative power of the Jagger/Richards duo.
- In April 2005, Italy returned to Ethiopia the obelisk of Aksum, a 4th century funerary monument and symbol
- Paul Virilio, through his thinking and his writings, has demonstrated that contemporary history is the child of speed.
- Between 1940 and 1944, thousands of "petitions" from Jews or relatives of victims of persecution were addressed to the CGQJ (General Commission for Jewish Questions) directly or via Marshal Pétain. The French administration first pretended to examine these requests and then, from June 1942 onward, systematically deflected them to the occupying authorities. These petitions tell the story of lives turned upside down. They show the inexorable spiral in which men, women, and sometimes children, are struggling, trying by all means to break the trap.
- A critical look at the phenomenon of low cost airlines, with an investigation conducted in Switzerland, Great Britain, Sweden, and France.
