The Day I Became A Hero
How to account for the courage of people who have saved one or more lives? In the event of someone drowning, getting stabbed or during a terrorist attack. Lassana Bathily saved several people held prisoner in the 2015 Paris Hyper Casher terrorist attack. Mamoudou Gassama climbed up 4 stories to save a 4-year-old child hanging from a balcony. None of them really managed to explain their act of bravery. Did they act instinctively, out of altruism or self-sacrifice ? And what if courage was something happening in our heads, almost in spite of ourselves? Through neuroscientific experiments and meeting with those who suddenly became heroes, this report questions us on our ability to one day become heroes.
