Annie Colère is a comedy-drama directed by Blandine Lenoir, who also wrote the screenplay with Axelle Ropert. The film stars Laure Calamy, Zita Hanrot and India Hair, and tells the story of women's struggle in the 1970s to legalize abortion in France.
Annie Colère will be broadcast on France 3 on Monday May 5, 2025 at 9:10pm.
The trailer reveals a poignant film about the militant commitment and support between women in the years leading up to the adoption of the Simone Veil law on abortion.
Synopsis: February 1974. Because she finds herself accidentally pregnant, Annie, a working-class mother of two, meets the MLAC - Mouvement pour la Liberté de l'Avortement et de la Contraception (Movement for the Freedom of Abortion and Contraception). By joining this committed group, she discovers a new impetus for her life by taking part in the fight for abortion rights.
The film could be of interest to viewers sensitive to historical and militant narratives, such as Les Suffragettes (Suffragette) or Hors normes. Those interested in social struggles and women's rights would also find Annie Colère a committed and inspiring work.
Inspired by MLAC 's actions prior to the adoption of the Simone Veil law, Annie Colère explores collective commitment and the sharing of knowledge between women. The film revisits the Karman method, used at the time to perform safe abortions, and sheds light on a pivotal era for women's rights in France.
Annie Colère immerses us in the feminist struggle of the 70s, through the personal journey of a working-class woman transformed by her commitment. Starring Laure Calamy in the title role, this moving film recalls the struggle to pass the law on voluntary termination of pregnancy.
