The timely exploration of reproductive rights focuses on Anne, "a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. When she falls pregnant in 1960s France, where abortion is illegal, she resolves to act, no matter the risk." The film is in French with English subtitles. A Q&A session will follow at 8:45 pm, co-moderated by Professor Nathalie Froloff, Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Université Paris-Sorbonne, and Professor Katie Oliviero, Chair and Associate Professor of Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Dickinson.
