The paralysed aristocrat and his ex-criminal carer

When French aristocrat Philippe Pozzo di Borgo lost the use of all his limbs after a paragliding accident twenty two years ago, a young Algerian former gang leader called Abdel Sellou became his carer. The story of their unusual friendship was turned into a hit film called 'The Untouchables' and now Philippe has written a book 'Toi et Moi, J'y Crois' reflecting on his life since the accident.
