Charly is Alive

  VERSION FRANÇAISE

 Presentation and discussion with French director Thomas Chansou

« In the 80s and 90s, a bald guy was either a sick person, a six feet tall skinhead with a bombers jacket, or a Kojak fan. . . I was classified in the category « sick ». And no matter how much I was suffering, I was insulted and laughed at. » Charly Blast, dealing with leukemia since the age of six, has been trying for 35 years to live his life like everyone else. On top of it all, fate is lashing out on him repetitively. To move forward, he must put up with the effects of treatments, medical verbiage and the gazes of others. Not so simple… Who is Charly Blast? This story is the one of Thomas Chansou.
