Arthur Dénouveaux, a survivor of the Bataclan attack and president of Life for Paris, reflects on how fiction can help process the trauma of the November 13, 2015 attacks. In an upcoming tribute and interview, he argues that fiction provides multiple perspectives, allowing society to engage with the complex nature of the attacks beyond political narratives. Dénouveaux expresses skepticism about political solutions to radicalization, advocating for collective societal action instead. This discussion comes as the series ‘Les espions de la terreur’ premieres, delving into the aftermath of the attacks.
