The M6 program “Forbidden Zone” devotes this Sunday an issue to Alzheimer’s disease and to the French people who suffer from it. Older people, but also younger people, who are under 60 years old. Aymone de Chanterac, the co-director, recounts at the microphone of Europe 1 the memories of filming which have deeply upset her.
It is a disease that upsets entire families and erases the memories of memories. There are one million people with Alzheimer’s in France and 36 million worldwide. Contrary to popular belief, 33,000 French people who suffer from it are under 60 years old.
A sequence particularly upset the co-director
C. Productions has taken up this societal theme. For its new issue of Restricted zone, Aymone de Chanterac handed them the microphone. A poignant documentary that upset the one who was behind the camera, as she recounted on Friday in “Le Journal des media” on Europe 1. She says: “One sequence, in particular, upset me. It’s the moment when a very advanced patient comes out of her retirement home to attend the wedding of her granddaughter. Her daughter and her granddaughter have organized everything for this day, they have hired an ambulance so that Monique is there to share this great moment of happiness.”
She continues: “When she finds herself at the mother of the bride’s house to get ready all together. It’s a bit like a reminder of their life before and when this patient showed very little. We see everything Suddenly she is aware of her surroundings and she is very happy. It was really a very powerful moment.” Restricted zone is presented by Ophélie Meunier and broadcast in prime time.
