Anne Poiret (born December 6, 1976) is a French journalist and documentary filmmaker. She has won numerous prizes and awards, including the 2007 Albert Londres Prize,[1][2][3] the 2022 International Emmy Awards for best documentary,[4][5] and the 2024 Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Documentary.[6] She focuses on underreported conflicts, investigating a range of topics related to war and post-war situations.

Education

[edit]

Poiret completed a B.A. in history from the University of Paris X Nanterre, and then studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies. She graduated in 1999 and the following year completed coursework toward a master's degree in journalism at New York University.[7]

Career

[edit]

Poiret has worked for various editorial offices and news magazines, including C dans l’air on France 5, "Envoyé Spécial" on France 2, as well as "Arte reportage" on Arte.[2] She writes and directs documentaries about topics such as: aftermath of armed conflicts, human and political consequences of wars, and actions of the United Nations and other international non-governmental organizations.[2][8]

Her first film, Muttur: Crime against Humanitarians,[9] investigates the unsolved murder of 17 humanitarian workers in Sri Lanka. It earned the prestigious Albert Londres Prize.[2][3]

Many of her subsequent films focus on countries going through postwar reconstruction, such as Iraq[10] and the Republic of South Sudan.[11][12] She has also investigated the genocide of the Herero and Namas in Namibia,[13] as well as the situation in the regions of Donbass,[14] Kashmir,[15] and Syria[16][2]

Much of Poiret's work questions the actions of public authorities and international companies (e.g. Epidemics: the invisible threat[17], Welcome to Refugeestan[18] or My country makes weapons[19][20]).

Her documentaries are usually released first on French public television network; many are subsequently broadcast on European, Canadian, Australian, Japanese and the Middle Eastern TV channels.

One of her most recent documentaries, Iraq’s Lost Generation,[21] won the 2022 International Emmy Awards for best documentary.[4][22][23] Another one, Global Spyware Scandal: Exposing Pegasus, won the 2024 Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Documentary.[6][24]
