Both epic and intimate, Simone: Woman of the Century<\/strong><\/em> (2021) shares the powerful story of pioneering French political leader Simone Veil<\/strong> (1927-2017), recounted through the pivotal and tumultuous events of the 20th century. Veil, a holocaust survivor, challenged existing laws and perceptions\u2014particularly in human rights and women\u2019s equality\u2014furthering a humanist view that remains relevant in our time. In her long career of key government roles, including French Magistrate, Minister of Justice, Minister of Health, and President of the European Parliament (as the first woman to preside over that body), she advocated for groundbreaking European integration as a path toward lasting peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned French director\/writer Olivier Dahan<\/strong> has been widely recognized for his films, including the Academy Award-winning La Vie en Rose<\/em> starring Marion Cotillard. Simone: Woman of the Century<\/em> earned a 2023 C\u00e9sar Award for Best Costume Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
