EFF: Simone: Woman of the Century

The Story

The extraordinary life of French feminist icon Simone Veil is brought to the silver screen in this moving and monumental biopic from director Olivier Dahan (La Vie en rose).

A box office smash hit in its native France, Simone Veil offers an intimate and epic portrait of a singular woman - Holocaust survivor, human rights advocate and politician - who eminently challenged and transformed her era while defending a humanist message still keenly relevant today.
