CAPA (Chabalier & Associates Press Agency) is a French press agency and production company founded on August 1st, 1989, by Hervé Chabalier. It is the largest production company for television reports and documentaries in France[1]. The firm, which is part of Newen since 2011[2], produces about 150 hours of documentaries and television reports every year. It has 3 subsidiaries: CAPA Presse, CAPA Corporate and CAPA Drama.

Activity[modifier | modifier le code]

CAPA gained visibility in the 90's with the TV program 24 Heures, broadcast on Canal +. The show marks a new kind of offbeat journalism in France: as Hervé Chabalier explained it to Les Inrocks, in 2009 :"A channel had never delegate news gathering to an external company before"[3].

Since then, CAPA notably produced L'Effet Papillon, from 2006 to 2018, and often collaborates to the direction and production of Envoyé Spécial, Spécial Investigation, Des Racines et des Ailes, Infrarouge, 66 Minutes, Thema (ARTE), and Pièces à conviction.

History[modifier | modifier le code]

Over the years, the group diversified, notably in fiction, with the creation of its subsidiary CAPA Drama. CAP Drama produces Versailles, a TV show known as the most expensive French TV Show of all[4].

In 2007, the reporter Marc Garminrian is sent to Chad by CAPA Presse to investigate on the association L’Arche de Zoé and its controversial operation “Rescue Children”[5]. Garminrian was arrested by the authorities and spent 11 days in prison[6] with a few other humanitarians before getting back to France.

In June 2018, the two journalists, Sebastian Perez Pezzani and Didier Barral, who were making an investigation in Venezuela for “Caméléon”, a documentary series produced by CAPA Presse for the French channel “13ème Rue”, got arrested by the venezuelan police[7]. Both of them spent 10 days in prison before being released with the help of the French embassy.

In 2019, Netflix and CAPA Drama released “Osmosis”, the TV streaming’s second French original show[8].

CAPA notably received 3 Albert Londres Prize and 2 International Emmy Awards in fiction and documentary[9].
