Faustine Bollaert: changes in CCA
Still with Télé-Loisirs, Faustine Bollaert returned to the beginnings of It starts todaywhich has made some changes over the years. When I started this show, we were in a logic where the host had to fade a little behind the testimony. SO the question of letting go of my emotions was a real debate. Initially, as soon as I showed an emotion, whether it was tears, anger or joy, it was erased during editing.“
Initially, the choice to remain neutral was a continuation of what Jean-Luc Delarue was doing but Faustine Bollaert could not hold back her emotions. “ We said to ourselves with the channel that we had to stop wanting it to be so neutral, but to live this emotion. » explained Stéphanie Guérin, the producer of the show.

I know that when I’m angry, the public is angry. I know that when I’m touched by someone, the public is the same.We understood that people were not only coming to listen to a testimony, but that they were coming to witness the meeting between this testimony and me. » explained Abbie and Peter’s mother.
