Abstract
Filmmaker Idriss Diabaté will engage in a discussion based on the screening of excerpts from two documentaries he has made.
The first film, "Espace vécu, espace raconté, les horizons de l'intégration", describes the two existing systems for treating the mentally ill in Côte d'Ivoire, i.e. hospital-based treatment and village-based treatment. In particular, it explores the place and role of the family in the treatment and integration of the mentally ill.
The second film, "La Femme porte l'Afrique", shows the daily lives of five women from modest backgrounds who work every day to meet their children's health, food and housing needs, so that they can go to school. For these women, school remains the only means of escaping poverty. We also discover the children who testify in these terms: "Without my mom, I wouldn't have gone to school, it's thanks to my mom that I became a teacher, a dressmaker, a hairdresser, etc.".
