Pitch

The Powerwall is a new form of political debate, structured around game show rules, to help everyone find answers to important questions in a society that's experienced major changes over the past few years. 6 major party representatives face the question of 100 young voters, gathered in the Powerwall. Over the course of 3 rounds, the political guests have to push a button in order to answer questions on education, environment, health or housing, and their speeches are timed. The Powerwall then gives a "yes" or "no" feedback to a simple question: did the politician's answer convince you?

The results are immediately displayed and the politicians get 2 more rounds to improve their results: a duel and a battle. Viewers can also participate. By combining information, interactivity and a touch of entertainment, the aim of this unique programme is to bring back a sense of trust to this Powerwall and beyond, the viewers at home. First broadcast in 2019, a new one-off was aired very successfully on May 15, in prime time on RTBF: 21.4%.
