Women on Trial (2026)

L’Affaire Marie-Claire

In 1972, France is rocked by a historic trial that puts young Marie-Claire in the dock for undergoing an illegal abortion, aided by her mother and two other women. Inside a male-dominated courtroom, the outcome appears all but sealed—the women face prison, while her rapist walks free without consequence. Their only lifeline is Gisèle Halimi, a bold attorney who dares to defy patriarchal power and take on a system that punishes the innocent while shielding the guilty. Standing with the accused, Gisèle fights not just to rewrite their future, but to shatter the status quo—and, against every expectation, reshape the lives of women forever.
