The story

In 2007, the reporter Marc Garmirian is sent to Chad by CAPA Presse to investigate on the association L’Arche de Zoé and its controversial operation “Rescue Children”. Garmirian was arrested by the authorities and spent 11 days in prison with a few other humanitarians before getting back to France.
In June 2018, the two journalists, Sebastian Perez Pezzani and Didier Barral, who were making an investigation in Venezuela for “Caméléon”, a documentary series produced by CAPA Presse for the French channel 13ème Rue, got arrested by the venezuelan police. Both of them spent 10 days in prison before being released with the help of the French embassy.
In 2019, Netflix and CAPA Drama released Osmosis, the TV streaming’s second French original show.
