This documentary was originally broadcasted by the RTBF in June 2021 as a 2 parts miniseries. This is visible:
It was only broadcasted in 2022 in France as a single movie.
Consequently, the entry that normally need to be removed is the movie entry. But I'm waiting for other moderator opinions before removing it.

Hello @superboy97 , thanks for your answer, and good catch for the 2-part broadcasting in Belgium. It is indeed common for documentaries to be sold to broadcasters as a whole movie or split in two or more episodes, depending on the length of the original production. I didn't find an answer on the bible for such a case... But I remember some talks on the forum saying it's OK to have both entries (movie + TV show) for a same production, according to the way it was broadcasted in some countries.

There is a rule conflict in this specific case due to the fact that it's not a Belgium production this is why I'm waiting for the opinion of other moderators. If it was a Belgium production, I would have directly deleted the movie entry.
If we apply the general rule, it should be listed as a miniseries as it was first broadcasted as such. But, the series rule indicates that it should be listed based on the origin country broadcast, but it was broadcasted in France as a movie.
The case where we can have the 2 entries is if the movie version has been released theatrically.
