France 3 broadcasts a documentary on the history of the Téléthon, narrated by Zazie
Published
The channel France 3 is airing, on Monday 30 November, a documentary entitled « Téléthon, tout pour la vie ». The film is narrated by singer Zazie and looks back at the birth of the marathon of solidarity, born in France to support research into rare diseases.
The documentary focuses above all on the families who played a major role in this adventure. These parents, whose children suffer from genetic diseases, wanted to advance science and find treatments. Their commitment made it possible to collect donations and fund research projects, and the film traces the stages of this epic.
The Téléthon is held every year in the month of December. For several days, television programmes, events across France and volunteers mobilise to raise money. The documentary offers a better understanding of the history of this mobilisation and its importance for patients and their loved ones.
The broadcast of this programme on France 3 comes ahead of the major fundraising event. It invites viewers to discover how an initiative born within a few families has, over the years, become a major national event.
