“All the suffering I experienced is not at all reported in this film” (Sic). In front of the crowded room, this Monday, October 21 in the evening, Karine Jambu stands straight. This 27-year-old from Rennes showed little emotion following the screening of “Reportements”, the film that France 2 adapted from her life. At his side, Éric Métayer, director who also directed Les Chatouilles, drives home the point: “I didn’t include all the pain because no one would have watched. »
Next Wednesday, November 20, International Children’s Rights Day, France 2 will broadcast “Reportements”, the film adapted from the story Karine and Laurence, her aunt, who fought against the institutions to rescue her niece from the clutches of ‘a pedophile staying with Karine’s parents.
Her parents absent, she sleeps on the doormat
For Laurence Brunet-Jambu, this film is yet another snub to the fight she has waged tirelessly since the birth of her niece in 1997. From the maternity ward, Laurence and the midwives made reports. Karine is in danger. Anne-Marie, his mother, who has already been convicted of the murder of her previous child born from rape, is not able to take care of him. Neither does René, the drifting father. Karine is kept in the family home with monitoring from Child Welfare. From 2002 to 2005, the parents of the little girl, who was between 5 and 7 years old, took in Roland Blaudy, a pedophile with a serious criminal record. Laurence, several neighbors and the little girl’s teacher made reports. Karine is very dirty, speaks little. She wanders alone in the neighborhood, sleeps on the doormat in her house at night when her parents are away, and exhibits abnormal sexualized behaviors.
We must not only listen to children, we must act
Inspired by the book co-written by Karine and Laurence Brunet-Jambu, the film retraces the Rennes disaster of child welfare and the determination of the judicial institution to silence it. For reasons of filming authorization, the fiction unfortunately takes place in the Lille region. The actor Bruno Solo, ambassador of the Voice of the Child association, takes on the role of incompetent and indifferent social work. Cécile Bois, known for her interpretation of Candice Renoir, plays the role of Laurence Brunet-Jambu. The character of Karine is played in turn by Flavie Dachy and Victoria Eber. Odile Villemin plays Anne-Marie, the failing mother and Marc Citti, the father. The 52-minute TV film sticks “hugely to reality,” breathes Laurence Brunet-Jambu. “We must not only listen to children, we must act. »
