While fiction has been tackling the national trauma of the November 13 attacks for several years, and the series is coming out The spies of terror on M6, which offers a dive into the heart of the French intelligence services after the attacks of November 13, 2015, Arthur Dénouveaux, survivor of the Bataclan attack and president of the Life for Paris association, shares his vision on this commemoration eve of the role that fiction can play in the approach to attacks.
According to Arthur Dénouveaux, fiction allows us to “multiply points of view”. He says it himself, as a victim, he does not think that these are “the best judges of what [leur] has arrived”. “Ce What is interesting in this multiplication of points of view is that we will be able to form an opinion on a whole bunch of subjects around November 13, because it is one of those events that is so complex that we cannot can’t approach them from just one angle.”estimates the association president.
“We have to accept that there is a plurality of points of view, and we have to accept the strength of the fiction in that.”

Unlike politicians, who are above all keen to maintain the memory of this trauma, fiction allows Arthur Dénouveaux to “continue thinking”and to understand questions that politicians and the trial of the attacks have failed to understand. “One day or another, fiction will also have to try to offer a representation [des auteurs des attentats]”he maintains.
Concerning the increasingly significant radicalization in France, Arthur Dénouveaux says he does not have much hope in policies, and fears that “political speech is incapable of tackling this problem”claiming that he does “much more confidence in civil society”. Announcing the dissolution of the association on November 13, 2025, he is already imagining the future. “Perhaps this is what happens after Life for Paris : succeed in ensuring that it is us, collectively, who attack ourselves [au fléau qu’est la radicalisation].”

Tout Public takes a detour through comics, paying homage to comic book author Christian Godard, who died at the age of 92. If the cartoonist has worked with the greatest, from René Goscinny to Spirou magazine, via Tintin’s journal, winning a prize for best screenwriter at the Angoulême festival in 1974, what we remember about Christian Godard , it is also an age of the teeming youth press, which has today almost disappeared, and whose magazine Spirou remains one of the only survivors.
On the cinema side, No Otherland Landthe Israeli-Palestinian documentary produced by a collective of four activists, awarded at the Berlinale, is released in theaters on Wednesday November 13, 2024. A film which claims to be an act of resistance and which denounces Israeli colonization in the Hebron region , where civilians were expelled to build an Israeli military zone. This is how Basel Adra filmed on his own initiative the daily arrival of bulldozers at his home, before being joined by Yuval Abraham, an Israeli activist committed to lasting peace. The directors film a peaceful resistance, the inhabitants not wanting to participate in the cycle of violence which is perpetuated between Palestine and Israel, and which has increased since the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. “The cycle of violence is endless. This is why I think that the fact that France does not recognize a Palestinian state and does not take sanctions against colonization is problematic. This feeds this cycle of violence in the region”denounces Yval Abraham.
