Overview

• Fifty volunteers believed they were taking part in unrelated brain tests, which allowed the show to capture authentic responses to racial cues.
• In seating tests, nearly every participant opted to sit beside a white confederate rather than a Black one, regardless of how roles were rotated.
• Marie Drucker and Jamy Gourmaud introduced each scenario while psychosociologist Sylvain Delouvée unpacked the scientific underpinnings of observed behaviors.
• Actor-director Lucien Jean-Baptiste served as a key witness, relating experimental outcomes to his personal experiences of discrimination.
• Early reactions show that the program’s universal framing has eased concerns over its provocative title and encouraged viewers to confront latent prejudices.
