The C8 cameras have been following Gabriel Attal for several months, well before his appointment as Prime Minister was considered, and this will result in an exclusive documentary broadcast “in the first half”, the number 2 of the Canal+ group said on Thursday. “We knew he had potential,” declared Gérald-Brice Viret on franceinfo radio, confirming information from the Tribune Sunday.
A new documentary
According to him, Gabriel Attal began to be followed when he was Minister of Public Accounts, a position he held from May 2022 until his move to Education last July. He continues to be filmed “at the moment”, while his appointment at Matignon was announced on Tuesday, continued Mr. Viret. “We have images, above all we have a lot of interviews with him”, and this “unpublished documentary” will be “broadcast on C8 during the first half of the year”, continued the number 2 of the Canal+ group, to which the C8 channel belongs, headlined by host Cyril Hanouna.
Gabriel Attal “always came to our sets, whether at C8” at Cyril Hanouna’s “and at (the news channel) CNews,” recalled the manager. According to him, he “is one of those politicians who make the public, especially young people, interested in politics.” This documentary will be produced by political journalist Louis Morin.
Mentor of Gabriel Attal, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron was also the subject of a documentary during his first campaign, in 2017, then broadcast on TF1. Filming of a second documentary on the head of state is underway, announced the CEO of the production company Mediawan Pierre-Antoine Capton in early December.
