Synopsis:
The most widespread genetic disease in the world and in France, sickle-cell disease (also known as sickle cell anemia) remains widely unknown today. A serious disease that originated in the global South, it has been spreading over centuries as a result of forced or voluntary migration and the mixing of cultures. Everywhere in the world, sickle cell patients wage a constant war against the physical and moral pain induced by ignorance and exclusion. But the story of sickle cell disease is also the story of a political struggle that can be traced back to the Black Panthers in the United States in the Sixties up to social organisations in present-day France. It is a struggle starting with making health care services accessible to all. To be a sickle cell patient is to fight for life.
