Egoiste (2020): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2020, Egoiste is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Pierre-Yves Bernard, running about 56 minutes. “40 humanitarian workers and their loved ones confide straightforwardly” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. War, emergency, pandemics and hunger. Humanitarian workers are used to working in the most varied and extreme missions and contexts across the planet. However, few of them venture openly into the world of personal feelings. For this film, forty humanitarian workers and their loved ones did just that, speaking without reserve about the risk, the commitment, the first mission, the sense of powerlessness, the encounters, the passion, the return home and the unspeakable things they’ve witnessed. This film explores the question of their selfishness in choosing to do this kind of work. Each person, in their own words, tells us about their feelings and experiences. Openly and straightforwardly, they tell us who they are and speak of their commitment to others, their doubts, their weaknesses and the images that haunt them.
