Step into an immersive courtroom trial. As members of the jury, the power to deliver justice rests entirely in your hands. Debate the case, question the motives and cast your votes throughout the show. Decide who walks free... and who pays the price. This is jury duty like you've never experienced it before.
But where did it all go wrong? Jérémy Charbonnel shares his struggles as a single dad fighting not to end up like his father… but not only that!
In this authentic and sincere show, Jérémy is searching for answers to better understand his life. But to find answers, you first have to ask the right questions... With caustic humor and a touch of tenderness, he transforms his failures into life lessons, showing us that sometimes you have to lose everything to find yourself again.
A funny, touching, and surprising show!
