"The story of Diam's, which can echo the story of so many people"

In a message posted on Instagram, Diam's specifies the themes that will be discussed: "My depression, my suffering, my quest, my rebirth", she writes.

The artist also justifies in this text her choice to finally confide, after having been very often asked to tell her story.

"I was touched that people were interested in my career, but it was impossible for me to let strangers speak for me. So I took up the pen again. The one with which I have always liked to indulge myself ”, she explains.

documentary was co-directed by Houda Benyamina and Anne Cissé and will be available on the Brut X platform.
