Documentary: Follow Me – François Sagat



Follow Me François Sagat

The documentary « Follow Me » explores an unknown facet of François Sagat, an iconic figure in the gay adult film industry, through the creation of his new album in collaboration with Tommy Marcus, composer and musical director at the Paradis Latin.

Prompted by Cyrille Marie, program director at Pink TV and a close friend of François, the project began with a cover of Amanda Lear’s « Follow Me ». François Sagat speaks candidly about the challenges he faces as a sex worker, often struggling for legitimacy when expressing himself outside of that world.

He discusses his personal battles, his youth as a gay man, and the physical transformation of his body. Psychologist Carole Groulet provides insights into the emotional journey of public figures like François, who explains how sports helped build his self-confidence.

« Follow Me offers a rich and nuanced immersion into the world of François Sagat, highlighting his quest for artistic expression and resilience against prejudice. An intimate look at a man in constant exploration of himself. »
