Le Procès de Bobigny

The film centers on 16-year-old Marie-Claire, who becomes pregnant after a rape. With the support of her mother, Michelle, and three other women, she seeks a clandestine abortion. The five women face arrest under a 1920 law, igniting a legal battle that captures national attention.

As the trial unfolds, they receive backing from notable figures in France, including Simone de Beauvoir. This support plays a crucial role in their eventual release and leads to changes in the law surrounding abortion rights in France. The film highlights the intersection of personal struggle and collective activism in a critical moment for women's rights during the 1970s.
