Summary.

This summer, Source Code gives the floor to five people who have seen their lives turned upside down by social networks.

In this episode: Julie Bourges, 25, influencer followed by more than 600,000 people on Instagram, where she told her story.

On February 12, 2013, Julie Bourges, 16, disguised herself as a sheep for her high school carnival.

For her outfit, she sports dozens of cotton balls on her body.

While lighting a cigarette, his suit catches fire.

Julie is very badly burned.

When she wakes up in the hospital, after a three-month artificial coma, 40% of her body is covered with scars.

For months, the complexes linked to these burns spoil his life.

In November 2015, two and a half years after her accident, she created an Instagram account: DouzeFévrier, to "give a new start to the date, a new meaning", and share her story to better accept herself.

For Code source, Julie Bourges agreed to tell her story at the microphone of Ambre Rosala.
