Failing to walk the red carpet of the JCC this year, the immensely missed Fethi Haddaoui was enveloped in the red of the nation, the red of the Tunisian flag.
Today, December 14, the funeral of Fethi Haddaoui coincided with the opening of the JCC. Sad coincidence which also created controversy. Should we keep the red carpet or remove it? Should it be replaced with a black carpet?
How to go from the cemetery to the JCC festivities? Some have chosen to boycott…
The red carpet was! But without the party look and the guests were soberly dressed without rhinestones and sequins.
The “show must go on!” » even if hearts are in mourning. Some saw a sign in this divine coincidence: On the day of the cinema festival, an immense figure from the big and small screen is buried. Perhaps this is the lesson to be learned in the end. Either !
Today, in the afternoon of this Saturday, all of Tunisia accompanied Fethi Haddaoui to his final resting place. It looked like a national funeral. In any case, a crowd worthy of the name!
At the cemetery, there were officials, artists and even presidents of sports clubs. But there was also this crowd which finally had a face! The emotional face of a family who lost one of their own.
