Dictionnaire amoureux du journalisme

Inspired by a book by Serge July, Le Dictionnaire amoureux du journalisme (A Lover's Dictionary of Journalism) is a declaration of love for freedom of the press, which underpins all other freedoms. This immersion with journalists at the heart of the stories they have covered brings to life often deeply moving investigations. Above all, it explains what a journalist is, what drives them, and what we owe them.

Directed by Caroline Fontaine, Dictionnaire amoureux du journalisme leans on a strong ensemble — Annick Cojean, Judith Duportail, Caroline Ferrus — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2024.
