Violent girls: six months to avoid prison
At 17, Amandine has already experienced prison. Sonia, 16, admits to having stabbed a young girl during an altercation. Clara, 15, is accused of complicity in an assassination attempt... Placed by the courts in a closed center in Bergerac, these teenagers are at risk for their future. They have six months to try to escape prison. “Special Envoy” obtained exceptional authorization to share their daily lives for several months. Throughout the placement, they must learn to respect the rules, schedules, attend school and build a professional project. Here, every gesture counts: running away and refusals of activity as well as progress and good academic results are recorded by the educators and transmitted to the magistrate who will decide after six months whether or not to place them in detention.
For Aude, 17, the deadline is approaching. During her sanction hearing before the children's court, she will try to convince the courts that she can turn the page on the facts of receiving stolen goods and drug trafficking. How can we protect these teenage girls from the networks that sometimes await them when they leave? How many will actually manage to escape delinquency? In this long-term immersion, “Special Envoy” is interested in delinquency often overshadowed by that of boys, and in the difficult race against time engaged to prevent these young girls from falling back into delinquency.

Medical deserts: will reinforcements be enough?
Diagnostic delays, self-medication errors, emergencies not treated on time... Medical isolation can have serious consequences for the French. To combat emergency situations and strengthen the presence of doctors in the least resourced areas, the government created, in 2025, a Pact to combat medical deserts. Where are we today? Are the reinforcements well distributed?
Some municipalities continue to roll out the red carpet for general practitioners to attract them to the most remote countryside. “Special Envoy” followed these doctors who responded to the call and volunteered to treat these often fragile patients.

Ceuta: the underside of a migratory wave
Never has a migratory wave caused so many victims in Ceuta. At the end of July, 145 people died trying to reach Ceuta, according to the NGO Caminando Fronteras, most of them drowned during an unprecedented crowd movement. In less than 48 hours, nearly 80,000 people illegally crossed the border between Morocco and Ceuta. A massive arrival which plunged the Spanish enclave into an unprecedented and endless humanitarian crisis.
What happened on July 30 and 31, 2026? Was it a spontaneous crowd movement or an organized operation? Why do some Moroccan police officers seem to have let migrants pass? The shadow of a geopolitical conflict between Spain and Morocco hangs over this massive arrival of migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave located in the north of Africa and always claimed by Morocco. “Special Envoy” attempted to trace the thread of events.
