About film
On November 29, 1974, the National Assembly of France passed the Veil Law legalizing abortions. It passed largely due to the active participation of Simone Veil, who was the Health Minister of France at the time. Simone survived the Holocaust and was one of the key figures fighting for women’s rights in France. The film shows three days of hard-fought legislation debates. It was dedicated to the 40-year anniversary of that Law.
Director
66-year-old French film and television director. In 1987, he made his debut as a screenwriter for Jean-Pierre Denis’ film Field of Honor. Faure was the First Assistant Director during the filming of Robert Altman’s Vincent & Theo. In 2000, Faure released his feature film Just a Question of Love exploring homosexuality. The director returned to this theme in his film A Love to Hide, where he raised the topic of the deportation of gay people into Nazi labor camps in Vichy France. Behind the Walls became Faure’s first feature film created for the silver screen.
