A documentary titled "France-Maroc : liaisons dangereuses ?" aired on France 5 on March 31, 2026, examining the complex historical and political ties between the two nations. The program, part of the channel's "Le Monde en Face" series, featured interviews with historians and journalists.
Following its broadcast, the documentary faced immediate criticism from some viewers and commentators. Critics argued that it failed to present new information or perspectives, instead rehashing long-debated allegations about espionage, diplomatic tensions, and colonial history without substantial fresh analysis or evidence.
As of April 7, 2026, France 5 has not issued an official statement in response to the criticism. The debate highlights the ongoing sensitivity and complexity surrounding the portrayal of Franco-Moroccan relations in French media.
