MAMADOU, THE MAGIC HEALER

The chiropractor with thousands of patients

Synopsis

Born in a small African village, Mamadou N'Diaye settled in the small town of Roubaix, in northern France, in the 1930s, where he became a local figure.

Mamadou started as a boxer and then became a famous chiropractor. In his office in a working-class neighborhood, he treated thousands of patients, including many Belgians who did not hesitate to cross the border for treatment.

He left behind two daughters whom he did not acknowledge and who are now trying to understand their own history through the testimonies of those who knew him.
