Els oblidats dels oblidats

In the Ivory Coast, a lack of public healthcare forces individuals to pay for medical care out of pocket, a financial strain that many cannot afford, particularly for those with mental illnesses who are often stigmatized due to widespread beliefs in witchcraft.

In the Ivory Coast, ailing individuals must find a way to pay for medical care, a cost many cannot afford. For the mentally ill, blamed on witchcraft, the situation is dire: they're often chained to trees for years, left to the elements. Enter Gregoire Ahongbonon, a former tire repairman who rescues abandoned and abused mentally ill individuals, breaking their chains, healing them, and reinserting them into society, which often rejects them.
