We've won a very special prize today. The Prix Coup de Coeur within the walls of the International Documentary Festival - FIPADOC. I was so proud to come to Biarritz to receive it (Stéphanie was unfortunately held up on a shoot).
The prize is awarded by a jury of inmates from Bayonne prison, who unanimously chose INVINCIBLE ETE!
Inevitably, we sensed similarities in our conditions... We ALS sufferers, prisoners of our bodies...
Allow me to share a personal anecdote with you. Stéphanie Pillonca and I had already tried to organize screenings/debates of the film in prison. But the prison management turned us down. "Your film is too intellectual for them". This unanimous award is the best response to prejudice.
