Simone: Woman of the Century

Festival of Films in French 

This epic and intimate portrait of Simone Veil follows her exceptional life from Holocaust survivor to French magistrate and President of the European Parliament, paying tribute to her resilience, strength and courage, as she sought justice for all and championed gender parity, and women’s access to contraception and legal abortion. 

Co-sponsored by the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies 

In memory of Nicole Darmon Chandler 

(Olivier Dahan, France, French w/English sub, 140min, 2021, Digital)
