TV program this evening: our selection of the day
Woman
brings together the testimonies of thousands of women around the world.
“I didn't realize how extremely sensitive women are and being sensitive is life.
You shouldn't be afraid to be sensitive and the women in this film are not afraid to say what they think or to cry
,” confides Yann Arthus-Bertrand on the set of “Buzz TV”.
In collaboration with Anastasia Mikova who
“managed the interviews in a very human way”
, he tackles serious subjects, notably excision or lighter ones such as periods or sexuality.
“When they talk about sex, it’s incredible!
A man would never speak like that.
It made me laugh because we’re totally stuck
,” laughs our guest.
“I am still in love with my wife who will remain the woman of my life until the end.
She supported me a lot and if I am here today, it is a little thanks to her”
Yann Arthus-Bertrand about his wife Anne
“It’s a film that changed my life, my vision of my mother, my sisters, my wife. I realized that I had not been grateful enough to the women in my life
,” confesses Yann Arthus-Bertrand before returning to his recent breakup with his wife Anne.
“A gentle separation”
, he assures before giving a few details:
“It was she who left because she has Parkinson’s.
She is sick and I didn't take care of her enough
.
This is due to the very demanding work of the photographer who travels the world.
A separation which does not prevent them from remaining
“very close”
.

There is an innate courage, I think
