Mirapolis

"The Incredible Crash of the French Disneyland"

In 1987, Mirapolis opened its doors in the Parisian suburbs with the ambition of becoming the great French theme park capable of rivaling Disney. Driven by a spectacular vision and an imagination inspired by national tales and legends, the project quickly turned into a nightmare. Through archival footage and firsthand testimonies, the documentary retraces the meteoric rise and dramatic fall of this outsized dream, which shut down just five years after its inauguration.
