Prisoners of Apples: A Canal+ Documentary Journey Into Nature’s Deceptions

Apples. A fruit we all know but rarely think about. And yet, we should. We did – and now we can’t stop talking about it. Prisoners of Apples is a documentary that unveils how apples have been outsmarting humans for centuries. They started with Eve and ended up with global domination.

The journey to create Prisoners of Apples was anything but easy. Years of effort, countless script rewrites, shifting collaborators, and the ever-present challenge of securing funding made every step a test of perseverance. Yet, these very obstacles became the driving force behind a film that celebrates creativity and determination. In an era where AI tools could have eased the process, this project stands as a testament to human ingenuity and passion—every frame a labor of love and innovation.
