Eva Roque is one step ahead of everyone, she knows what the highlights will be on our screens this Tuesday evening. What is the theme?
Three programs, all related to health.
Starting with France 5 which offers an excellent survey on opioids.
These powerful painkillers that you can quickly get addicted to.
12 million French people consume it each year and the first cases of death from overdose are beginning to worry the health authorities.
There are 400,000 deaths today in the United States from these opioid addictions.
A health disaster which resulted in a drop in life expectancy across the Atlantic.
On France 2, another poignant documentary signed Marie-Pierre Jaury and devoted to Alzheimer's the day after the national day of awareness of this disease.
The director has shot moments of life with patients.
Some are seriously affected.
Others barely learn to live with it, like Alain who is found with his wife and daughters.
This documentary is remarkable in terms of accuracy and sensitivity.
We find ourselves smiling and sometimes crying.
Above all, it allows us to reflect on the difficult questions of supporting sick people and the end of life.
More joyful but just as moving, a film on Canal + by Olivier Nakache and Eric Tolédano who have chosen to tackle the difficult subject of disability and in particular autism.
With "Hors Norms", worn by Vincent Cassel and Reda Kateb, they tell us the true story of two educators (one is Jewish, the other Muslim) who have chosen to fight on a daily basis to take care of these children. children rejected by society as the character of Reda Kateb explains to two inspectors.
Without ever sinking into good feelings or an excess of pathos, Olivier Nakache and Eric Tolédano manage to make a committed film punctuated by moments of mad joy and overwhelming sequences.
The two actors are magnificent and are surrounded by a host of young people who deserve just as much attention.
