The Pelicot Rape Case: A Town on Trial
Duration: 1 x 90'
Play Trailer Play Screener Contact SalesThis film examines the awful crimes of Dominique Pelicot in contrast to the dignity and bravery of his ex-wife, Gisèle.
What is it that leads over 70 men to choose to allegedly take part in one of the most shocking crimes in French legal history? And what is it that drives a single woman to choose to speak her truth in front of the world to bring them to justice?
Exploring these crimes from a psychological, legal and cultural perspective, this documentary hears from those who were in court every day of the trial, those who watched from a far, as well as voices within the Mazan community where the Pelicots lived a seemingly idyllic retirement.
The film uncovers how these crimes could have gone unreported for so many years, what it means for how sexual assault is viewed in France and the rest of the world and what hard questions men need to ask themselves about modern masculinity.
