Every Sunday, West France associates with TV Magazine to find the essential programs for the coming week. Our selection from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 November is placed under the sign of fragility.
The Covid-19 pandemic, which has already mourned hundreds of thousands of families around the world, has led every inhabitant of the planet to an implacable conclusion: no one is invulnerable. It is precisely this fragility, sometimes underestimated, that television has chosen to highlight throughout the week.
A bodyguard grappling with his feelings
Monday, November 16, at 9:05 p.m., France 2 kicks off the series Bodyguard. This British fiction, carried by Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes, tells, in six episodes, the relationship that a bodyguard has with the Minister of the Interior whom he is responsible for protecting. This veteran of the war in Afghanistan, who heroically foiled a terrorist attack in the past, hates the policies of this conservative, but will nevertheless have to do his duty.
Brittany and intensive agriculture
The next day, facing the documentary Lebanon: a country in turmoil, on Art, France 5 broadcasts in the first part of the evening Brittany : a sacrificed land. During this survey, directors Aude Rouaux and Marie Garreau focus on intensive agriculture, which generates a large pool of jobs, but also environmental damage. This is mainly due to the presence of steroids, which cause diseases and fatal epidemics in animals.
Tribute to victims of parental violence
Wednesday November 18, France 2 devotes an entire evening to child abuse, as part of the International Day of the Rights of the Child. After the rebroadcast of the unitary fiction The Awkward, the public service channel put at 10:30 p.m. on a documentary entitled My lips are sealed. Produced by journalist Mélissa Theuriau, it gives voice to victims of violence parental that the cameras followed in the court of Bobigny, and in the office of the judge for children. A poignant immersion where the suffering of the little ones, but also of the older ones, should set the throat of many viewers. And, above all, to raise awareness.
