Zone Interdite 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.

For her new Zone Interdite number, 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 Médias on Europe 1. She says: "A sequence, in particular, upset me. This is the moment when a very advanced patient comes out of her retirement home to attend her granddaughter's wedding. 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."
