Six years later, they remain marked in their flesh and in their hearts. On October 31, 2017, Marion and Aristide discovered New York as a family. The weather was splendid, they had planned a long bike ride. At 3 p.m., their walk comes to an abrupt halt. A pick-up truck driver intentionally crashes into the bike path. Marion and Aristide have just been struck at random, victims of a terrorist attack.
Aristide regains consciousness moments after the attack, lying in his blood. Marion only wakes up two weeks later, in a hospital bed. When she regains consciousness, it’s a shock: she had to have both legs amputated. Then begins their long fight to rebuild themselves.
Marion and Aristide share their story and their testimony with us without a spirit of revenge but with humanity and courage.
