Défi de solidarité

After literary studies, Anne graduated from Sciences-Po in Paris and holds a DEA in the memory of communism in the East. Trilingual French-English-German, she has travelled around Europe since 2002. She has directed around fifty reports for ARTE: Forum des Européens and Zoom Europa, within the Compagnie des Phares et Balises. She has also started directing longer films for TF1 Reportages, Envoyé Spécial, Arte Reportage. In the summer of 2010, she was the first director to follow the protagonists of a scandal that would become the Mediator Affair (52 ’for Public Senat, selection at FIPA 2012). Independent since 2011, she aims at combining journalistic rigor and cinematographic practice, in order to develop new ways of writing documentaries.

Caroline Darroquy's career as a filmmaker is guided by a desire to highlight the stories of people who courageously commit themselves to help build a better world. In her documentaries, she adopts a social and political approach. In her first documentary, she tells the story of Bakthiyar, an Iraqi Kurdish journalist awaiting political refugee status in France. In 2017, in the context of a tragic migration crisis, her experience as a solidarity host led her to continue her filmmaking work with Défi de solidarité (selected in numerous festivals). She then co-directed Dessine-moi un visage (France 5 - Le Monde en Face), which explores the extraordinary resilience of children with different faces. With Les enfants de Vercheny (France 3 - La ligne bleue), she keeps working on supporting vulnerable people.
