Poiret has worked for various editorial offices and news magazines, including "C dans l’air" on France 5, "Envoyé Spécial" on France 2, as well as "Arte reportage" on Arte. She writes and directs documentaries about topics such as: aftermath of armed conflicts, human and political consequences of wars, and actions of the United Nations and other international non-governmental organizations. Her first film, Muttur: Crime against Humanitarians,  investigates the unsolved murder of 17 humanitarian workers in Sri Lanka. It earned the prestigious Albert Londres Prize. Many of her subsequent films focus on countries going through postwar reconstruction, such as Iraq and the Republic of South Sudan. She has also investigated the genocide of the Herero and Namas in Namibia, as well as the situation in the regions of Donbass, Kashmir, and Syria. Much of Poiret's work questions the actions of public authorities and international companies (e.g. Epidemics: the invisible threat, Welcome to Refugeestan or My country makes weapons). Her documentaries are usually released first on French public television network; many are subsequently broadcast on European, Canadian, Australian, Japanese and the Middle Eastern TV channels.
