Diam's fans have long awaited his return and it is with a first trailer for his documentary that their patience is rewarded.
The former rapper shared the presentation of
Salam
, a film she made with filmmakers Houda Benyamina (Caméra d'Or for
Divines
) and Anne Cissé.
The film will be shown at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday in a world preview, before being available in theaters on June 1 and 2, but also on the BrutX streaming platform, Brut being the producer of the footage.
His history
If the artist abandoned the song after converting to Islam, she did not reject her love of words.
Indeed, we discover in this trailer a new slam from the interpreter of
Young Lady
.
This text sets the tone of the documentary, which traces his success in rap, his depression, his withdrawal from public life and his conversion to Islam.
“I was taking more and more pills.
I hurt myself more and more, and then I thought about death more and more, but I said nothing.
I kept pretending.
Besides, sometimes I wonder: How many of us were pretending?
“, she declaims, while images of her wearing the hijab parade.
In addition to a book released in 2015 (
Me, Mélanie, French and Muslim
published by Don Quichotte), Mélanie Georgiades, her real name, has mainly devoted herself to her family life since 2012, giving birth to a daughter, Maryam, during of his first marriage.
She married the second time to former rapper Faouzi Tarkhani, who distinguished himself in 2015 with a post on Rue89 entitled "I became a Salafi thanks to the school of the Republic".
He condemned the attacks and demanded a "right to indifference" to be a Wahhabi Muslim.
They have a son together, Abraham.
It remains to be seen whether Diam's is really back or whether after the release of
Salam
, Mélanie Georgiades will resume her life away from the cameras.
