The origin of
Salam
Entitled
Salam
, which means "peace" in Arabic, the documentary was co-directed by Diam's with Houda Benyamina (
Divines
) and Anne Cissé (
Vampires
).
On Instagram, the interpreter of
La Boulette
revealed what motivated her to make this production.
She explains that she initially refused numerous requests for biopics, documentaries or series.
“For years, people knocked on my door asking me for permission to stage my life, to play it, to interpret it.
(…) I had the feeling that I was being asked to give the keys to my life so that others could make a film of it.
A show."
But she didn't want to turn her suffering into entertainment.
After ten years of silence, she finally changed her mind, but on the condition that she carry out her work herself.
“I was touched that people were interested in my career, but it was impossible for me to let strangers speak for me… So I took up the pen again.

"A human story and a quest"
Diam's seems to have found the freedom to tell her story as she sees fit.
Her dazzling success, her depression, her concerts and her songs that still punctuate the evenings today, her bipolarity, her end of career and her conversion to Islam... Will Diam's really tell all about the events that have marked his life?
On her Instagram post, she says she wants to “go back in (her) footsteps and take the viewer on a journey with (her).
To dive back into (his) memories and bring them back to life with (his) pen and the camera”.
A project that allowed her to free herself, to rediscover the places, people and events that marked her.
She also hopes to inspire people who watch her film: "There is certainly the story of Diam's behind the woman I am today, but it
The first pictures
Two days before the broadcast of
Salam
in Cannes, Diam's and Brut unveiled a first trailer for the feature film.
In this video, which lasts only a few seconds, we hear the voice of the singer pronounce a simple sentence: “By dint of running in all directions.
My life had none."
But the public will not have had to wait long before discovering the first images of the film.
On Wednesday, May 25, the trailer for the documentary was released on the singer's social networks.
The video begins with cries of the crowd, images of concerts, revealing a time when the interpreter of
Young lady
was at the top.
“For the first time, she is telling us her story”, the sentence appears and Diam's voice is heard.
In slam, she reveals these words: “The more the days passed the more I sank.
Like the feeling of getting bogged down or of falling into the void, and of having an endless fall.
The music was loud, so loud.
She stifled the cry of my soul.
Linking rhymes still heavy with mysteries.
