Kidnapping, terrorisme, lutte contre les trafiquants : un an au coeur du GIGN
Personne n'a oublié ces images du GIGN prenant d'assaut l'avion d'Air France détourné par des terroristes en 1994. Mais derrière ce fait d'arme se cachent bien d'autres missions souvent ignorées du grand public : arrestation de délinquants surarmés, interception de « go fast », ces voitures lancées à grande vitesse qui transportent des centaines de kilos de drogue, protection de l'Ambassadeur de France dans des pays en guerre, etc. Quand le danger devient trop grand, la gendarmerie fait appel à son unité d'élite : le GIGN. 400 hommes et femmes triés sur le volet prêts à risquer leur vie à chaque mission.
With a staggering 1112 episodes across seven seasons, 'RE: European Stories' is not your average TV series; it's an immersive experience that takes viewers on a captivating tour of Europe. This reportage magazine showcases different aspects of the continent - from focusing on significant political events such as elections to painting detailed portraits of individual countries or highlighting the efforts of single persons driving small-scale European projects.
The series starts powerfully with episode 1 focusing on the right-wing populist 'Party for Freedom' (PVV) which could become the strongest force in the Dutch elections held on March 15, 2017. It portrays how this development becomes a nightmare for migrants and Muslims in the country, demonstrating how rigid positions in this once liberal flagship democracy are. The high-emotional election campaign is shown to change society significantly.
Moving further into Eastern Europe, episode 2 sheds light on Poland's growing fear of Russian invasion since the Ukraine crisis. It shows tens of thousands of men and women trading their everyday outfits for olive-green combat attire to train for defending their homeland. Even Polish education is seen embracing militarization trends with over 30,000 students attending uniform classes where they receive military training using real weapons.
