CURRENT BROADCASTS
The coproduction Des bateaux et des Hommes, broadcast every Tuesday at 9PM on TV5, takes viewers on a journey to meet individuals and communities whose boats are an extension of their lives.

The documentary film I speak français will air on Télé-Québec on March 20. It presents the younger generation’s stance on the preserving their mother tongue, the French language.
IN DEVELOPMENT AND IN PRODUCTION
An exhilarating documentary series is currently being filmed around the world. Urgences features hard-pressed emergency teams in the thick of the action at major events in some of the world’s greatest cities. Eight 60-minute episodes will be broadcast on TV5.
Several other projects are in development or production phase. One of them probes La Canadienne, a ship that disappeared in the middle of the Saint-Lawrence Gulf many years ago. Other projects address the themes of male identity today in Quebec, falling in love in rural regions, losing a spouse and long-term physical rehabilitation following a serious accident.
Exciting projects not to be missed in 2019!
