ABOUT YANNICK ADAM DE VILLIERS

Over the past few years, I\'ve directed around twenty documentaries for France TV, Canal+, M6, TF1, and Amazon, distinguished by a rigorous documentary approach focusing on major investigations and the significant geopolitical issues of our time. I apply this approach in films such as \"From Bin Laden to Daesh,\" an investigation into international terrorism meticulously tracing the rise of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda;\"Vatican, Secret Stories,\" revealing the behind-the-scenes of one of the world\'s most opaque powers; and \"Google, Apple, Facebook: The New Masters of the World,\" exploring the unprecedented influence gained by digital giants. I am also the author and director of the documentary \"China-USA, the New Cold War,\" analyzing the escalating rivalry between these two major global powers, and \"Samantha Smith, the Little Girl and Peace,\" a touching and political narrative about the emblematic fate of a child who became a pacifist icon during the Cold War. Currently, I am developing formats adapted for documentary series. I recently completed two docu-dramas on Charlemagne and Joan of Arc for France 2, part of the collection \"Notre Histoire de France,\" and am currently writing an episode dedicated to Napoleon. My documentary \"Open Brain, Inside Athletes\' Minds,\" currently airing on Canal+, explores the secrets of the brains of twelve athletes, including Charles Leclerc, Rudy Gobert, and Alexis Pinturault. My latest film,\"Les Rugissantes,\" dedicated to the upcoming female attempt at the Jules Verne Trophy, is currently being screened across France as part of the Sailorz Festival.
