“Reality feeds my anger and my hope”

You published The hour of crime, special cold cases. In a few words, give us envy…

We remember the names of famous assassins, rarely those of their victims. Yet these are lives, carried by loved ones determined to be heard but often destitute and without judicial culture. And nothing is more cruel than the silence of the authorities in the face of the pain of these families in unresolved cases, the “ cold cases ».

What do your show and this book reveal about you?

Investigating news stories taught me how widespread injustice and violence are… but also how powerful humanity can be in those who stand up for victims. This exploration of reality nourishes both my anger and my hope.

The music that makes you happy in the morning?

French song: Sanson, Berger, Balavoine, but also the new generation, like Pomme. And then Barry White, the Doors… I’m eclectic.

What will you never tire of looking at?

Large format paintings by the American Jackson Pollock. They invite you to a total reverie.

A quality that you would like to pass on to your children?

Integrity: being in agreement with yourself, not cheating, and above all not damaging what surrounds us, whether people or nature.

You have three days, a backpack and no car. Where are you going?

At home, where I grew up, in the remote hamlets of Haute-Provence.

A solidarity initiative that touches you?

Paul Watson’s fight with the Sea Shepherd association, which fights in particular against whaling. And the Restos du coeur, which should no longer exist but which are still essential.

You meet the Pope. What question do you ask him?

Can you give me a good reason to believe in God?

For you, Jesus, it is…

At once a revolutionary, a unifier and an enigma. He could be likened to an eternal cold case. Whether we believe it or not, we continue to wonder about what happened to him. Did he die on the cross? Has he returned among men? The questions fuel the mystery that surrounds it.
