What happens

Graffiti est une série documentaire présentant l'histoire mondiale de la seconde partie du XXe siècle (de 1949 à 1999) vue à travers les images d'archives de la télévision française : actualités, chansons, émission de variétés, de jeux, etc. Réalisée par Gérard Jourd'hui et Anna Ruiz, elle est animée par Pierre Lescure et Dominique Besnehard, qui - à partir de Graffiti 60 - accueillent sur le plateau de nombreux artistes et journalistes de l'époque apportant leurs témoignages.
