Mazen, jeune autiste de 8 ans, pratique depuis peu l’ #escalade au sein de l’Association Sportive et Gymnique de Bagnolet (ASGB), club de Seine-Saint-Denis affilié à la FSGT. À l’occasion d’une activité découverte parent-enfant organisée par le club, Mazen - atteint d’une forme assez « sévère » d’autisme - et sa maman, Thouraya se présentent pour rejoindre l’activité alors qu’elle n’est elle-même ni grimpeuse ni sportive. Dans un premier temps dubitatif, Hervé, alors animateur bénévole décide finalement de soutenir cette maman très investie en l’accompagnant à partir des méthodes pédagogiques portées par la FSGT. Ce magnifique documentaire, réalisé par Damien Vernet et produit par la FSGT avec le soutien de l’Agence nationale du sport, raconte l’histoire extraordinaire d’une collaboration au service de l’autre et montre qu’à partir de contenus adaptés, la pratique de l’escalade va se révéler émancipatrice.
