Leurs mots à dire
Documentary film %AB *Leurs mots* %E0 dire %BB by Alexandra Riguet (2022).
Students with DYS disorders have a story to tell! That’s the message of this film shot by Alexandra Riguet, a director and journalist, at Valin High School in La Rochelle. By featuring about ten high school students with DYS disorders (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, etc.) during a music-creation workshop with rapper Hippocampe Fou, this documentary explores these invisible disabilities, as well as the difficulties and suffering they cause in everyday life.%A0 Over the course of several months, these students learned to write lyrics, sing them, and record them in a studio. They put their struggles into words, eager to share their stories so that everyone affected would no longer fear the judgment of others.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Alexandra Riguet and photographer Marie Monteiro, who curated the exhibition %AB%A0Leurs mots %E0 dire%A0%BB, currently on display at La Manufacture from January 6 to 30.
For all ages, 13 and up
Running time: 1 hour 13 minutes
