The vast majority of parents want the best for their children, but sometimes the plans for the future they make do not quite coincide (if at all) with the desires and choices of their offspring.
While it is normal and sometimes preferable to ask your parents for advice, growing up, some still feel like a child, irresponsible and immature in their eyes.

As parents, how do you let your children lead their own life, even if it is not the one they would have chosen for them?

At the end of the program, the testimony of a survivor of the sinking of the Joola collected by Raphaelle Constant. 20 years ago today, on the night of September 26 to 27, 2002, while traveling from Ziguinchor to Dakar, the ship Joola sank at sea off the Gambian coast, with more than 2 000 passengers of 12 nationalities. Only 64 of them survived. Malang Badji is one of them and recounts this terrible night at the microphone of Raphaëlle Constant who met her in Dakar.
