Heroic Hearts: The Hidden Potential Within Us | FULL DOC
After the horror of terrorist attacks, the media regularly report numerous testimonies where it is about gestures of mutual aid and humanity of certain people having taking tremendous risks to save others lives. Even if they deny it, these men and women are often presented as true heroes.
We all asked ourselves these questions that refer to our own condition: "What if I had been there? Would I have been able to brave my fear and do like them? Do I also have the potential of a hero?" To understand the human mechanism that allows some to switch from an ordinary attitude to an extraordinary posture, the documentary goes to meet those who at a given moment had this heroic behavior.
By listening to them, by reconstructing their history, we will seek what they have "more". Are there elements in their daily lives or in their past that made them have what some psychiatrists call "the potential personality"? Is there a gene of heroism or an education that promotes this ability to become one?
