Salvados netflix

Jordi Évole has been the visible face of Salvados since its birth in 2008 until May 2019 and the great responsible for the unique character of the program through his personal style of interviewing characters. He leaves his tenure at the helm of the program in May 2019, after achieving an interview with Pope Francis, a program that deserved a 2019 Ondas Award for Best Current Affairs Program.

The founder of the program began his journalistic career in local and regional media, such as Radio Barcelona and Televisión de Viladecans. In 2000 he joined the television production company El Terrat, where he has participated in various programs.

In 2008, ‘Salvados’ began to be broadcasted on a weekly basis, until today. In the summer of 2013 he directed a mockumentary about the 1981 coup d’état, which was broadcast on February 23, 2014 under the title “Operación Palace”. The program had a great repercussion and generated an intense debate in the journalistic environment.

In addition to his television work, Évole has also written opinion columns in various print media. He currently publishes a weekly opinion article in La Vanguardia. In October 2015 he launched his own production company together with Ramón Lara, co-director of ‘Salvados’, Producciones del Barrio.

The team, led by its director Gonzo, was carrying out documentation and pre-production work on the industrial accident that cost the lives of 29 people (mostly women) last February, when the textile factory where they worked, which was located in a basement, suddenly flooded.

The journalists were scheduled to meet with relatives and friends of the victims, but, even before they met with them, they were surprised by the police in a cafe and invited to leave the place and go immediately to their hotel, from where they will presumably be expelled shortly.

“Nothing like this had ever happened to us in Morocco,” said the source, who also stressed the numerous programs they had previously recorded in the Maghreb country, so they were aware that filming permits are necessary, but not for pre-production work.

It is not the first time that journalists have been expelled from Morocco, especially when they deal with conflictive or sensitive issues, the reason always being that they lacked the required filming permits or had entered without declaring their status as journalists.

The journalist Jordi Évole premieres today on La Sexta his new program, Lo de Évole, with a first objective. The first objective is to revive himself and get rid of the sambenito of Salvados. The presenter knows that it won’t be easy: “It will be very difficult to get rid of the sambenito that this is similar to Salvados, but I would say that it has a more intimate point, and a production and a script that risk more. I hope that these nuances can be seen,” he told Colpisa.

Several of the protagonists of the programs will be politicians, such as Oriol Junqueras and Francisco Granados, but there will also be other well-known people, such as the former president of FC Barcelona Sandro Rosell and anonymous people. Of the interview with the ERC leader, he explains: “What we found was a very strong Oriol Junqueras, combative, but also conciliatory. I think we are going to see all those ‘Orioles Junqueras’ in the interview”.
