Tonight on TV: our selection for Friday October 11

This evening, we sit down in front of a Disney movie with the children or in front of a solid doc on the Solar Temple (without the children). Otherwise, we head to Arte.TV for an investigation on the web. Canal+ owners will enjoy a game of life-size “Werewolves”.

Initiatory story: “Vaiana, the legend of the end of the world”

The intrepid Vaiana joins forces with the demigod Maui on a mythological quest in the heart of Polynesia. A fairly classic Disney, but with a nice moral.

At 9:10 p.m. on M6. Animated film directed by John Musker, Ron Clements, Don Hall and Chris Williams (USA, 2016). 1h50. Rebroadcast.

Sectarian phenomenon: “Solar temple, the impossible investigation”

The Order of the Solar Temple still has one hundred and forty thousand followers throughout the world today. Between 1994 and 1997, seventy-four members of the sect died. The case still raises many questions. This solid investigation focuses on the gray areas of an investigation which lasted more than twenty years.

At 9:25 p.m. on TMC. Documentary by Nicolas Brénéol and Raphaël Rouyer (1 to 4/4, France, 2021). 4 × 55 mins. Rebroadcast.

At the source of the information: “What a story! Survey on the web”

This remarkable documentary series combines art history and investigation by restoring the biography of secondary characters present in master paintings thanks to an investigation carried out entirely online. A demonstration of the best that screens can deliver to us.

On Arte.tv. Documentary series produced by Elisa Hélain, Clara Losi, Maud Gangler and Noémie Mayaudon (6 × 10 mins).

Paid bonus: “Werewolves”

Panayotis Pascot and Fary launch “the best part of Werewolves of all time”, life-size, with careful production and astonishing candidates. Summer camp fans and Bafa holders, don’t miss the first two episodes!

At 8:50 p.m. on Canal+. Directed by Franck Septier (1 and 2/8, France, 2024). 2 × 40 mins. Based on an idea by Fary and Panayotis Pascot, with the voice of Mister V. Unpublished.
