- Movie night "Debout les femmes" Thursday May 16th @6pm (free)30800 Telegraph Rd suite 2925, Bingham Farms, MI
Join us Thursday May 16th @6pm for the screening of "Debout les femmes" a 2021 documentary directed by Gilles Perret et François Ruffin
Since the cult success of "Merci Patron!:", activist/journalist/filmmaker François Ruffin has become an MP. Here, he attempts to table a law aimed at upholding the rights of what in Quebec are known as caregivers, and shows us in passing how a law whose need seems patently obvious is put together, debated, voted on and . . . dies on the battleground of French politics. A stirring documentary about social injustice that somehow manages to make us bust a gut laughing as we rage with indignation. And also cry at the beauty of it all, thanks to the director’s humanist sensibility and a deft play between reality and fiction
