Life
Some of Metz's publications were turned into documentaries. In 1997, Thierry Metz killed himself when he sank into depression and alcohol after his youngest kid was killed by a car.
At the age of 21, Metz moved with his family to Saint-Romain-le-Noble. There he worked as a yard labourer, a mason, and then a farm worker. During intervening periods of unemployment he wrote.
