'Outreau: A French Nightmare' is a documentary mini-series that looks back at one of the most controversial and painful court cases in recent French history. Available on Netflix on March 15, 2024, the series sheds new light on the events that shook the town of Outreau in the early 2000s.

The Outreau affair, centered on accusations of pedophilia within a family in northern France, quickly took on national proportions as theinvestigation, led by the young Judge Burgaud, began to involve more and more local residents. What began as a necessary investigation to protect the most vulnerable turned into a chaotic judicial spiral, marked by investigative errors, unfounded accusations and a lack of concrete evidence.

The documentary series explores the twists and turns of this complex affair, from the first accusations to the resounding trials that followed. Through interviews with those involved, expert analysis and the examination of period documents, Outreau: Un cauchemar français attempts to understand how and why the judicial machine could have "seized up", bringing in its wake the shattered lives of many innocent people.

This documentary is a critical and necessary look at the flaws in the judicial system, the dangers of prejudice and the ease with which an investigation can deviate from its primary objective: the search for the truth. "Outreau: Un cauchemar français" doesn't just recount the facts; it invites reflection on the human consequences of these judicial errors and on the lessons to be learned to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

This documentary miniseries, expected to be poignant and eye-opening, lands on Netflix on March 15, 2024. Outreau: Un cauchemar français is a crucial testimony to the limits and responsibilities of our judicial system, and a tribute to the lives affected by this affair.
