Synopsis
Today, Fidel is a TIME100 Health honoree, co-founder of the Elysium Noma Survivors Association, and a diversity model challenging the fashion industry's narrow beauty standards. His advocacy helped push the World Health Organization to officially recognize Noma as a neglected tropical disease in 2023 unlocking global attention and resources for a disease most people have never heard of.
Director's Statement
In this documentary, Fidel shares his story: growing up in Burkina Faso, surviving Noma, finding self-acceptance, and choosing to become visible on runways, on global stages, and in front of the camera instead of hiding.
