A graduate of King's College London/LSE and Sciences Po Paris, Margaux Chouraqui worked as a political and international reporter for eight years (C dans l'air, C politique, France 24, Canal +). She covered the migrant crisis and the rise of populism in
Europe, the war in Ukraine (2014), the Iran nuclear deal (2015: Iran/Israel), the rise of Salafism in Tunisia, anti-personnel mines from the Algerian War of Independence, and more.

In 2015, deeply affected by the terrorist attacks, she devoted herself to studying jihadist propaganda. She wrote an article entitled La contamination par l'image (Contamination by Image) in the journal Medium, edited by Régis Debray, followed by a report on Islamic State propaganda for the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Foundation, before publishing her first essay, La Mythologie Daech (2018, Éditions de l'Observatoire).

Margaux Chouraqui also directed and co-produced Exilés (2018), a documentary film that confronts Europe with its memory in the face of the refugee crisis. Supported by the European Commission, the film has been screened and discussed at around thirty events throughout France.

At the end of 2021, she launched Les Temps Qui Courent on YouTube, which has accumulated more than 4 million views and 80,000 hours of viewing time. The 15-minute filmed testimony is at the heart of the media's editorial approach, which transmits our memory in order to write our future. The witness draws on their personal history to recount a slice of our era. As an actor and/or witness to history, he is filmed in a setting that embodies him, and the montage is illustrated by personal photographs of the witness mixed with historical archives.

A cinematographic work focused on the transmission of memory, which led him to develop the feature-length documentary, Le projet, with Izio Rosenman, a child survivor of Buchenwald, and Kamel Chabane, a history teacher haunted by the sudden disappearance of his father, who was called up for the Algerian War.
