The Night One French Actress Re-ignited The French #MeToo Movement
Along with a team of 3, I co-wrote, co-produced, and co-hosted this episode of the podcast series “What Keeps You Up At Night?”. I designed and formatted each episode’s cover image.
On February 28, 2020, the César awards takes place in the Salle Pleyel (Paris). But this year's ceremony is not like any other. Roman Polanski, a Franco-Polish director convicted of rape, including that of a 13-year-old girl, is nominated 12 times.
Just after midnight, he is announced as the winner of the Cesar for Best Director. Immediately afterwards, the famous French actress Adèle Haenel left the stage shouting "shame". French feminists have not forgotten this act, as it was a key moment for the #MeToo movement in France, bringing the issue of sexual and gender-based violence to the forefront, making it a true emblem of feminist struggle.
