Film screening : The Divide ( 2021 )

Synopsis :

Two women on the verge of a breakup, in a hospital, are further stressed on the night of a big demonstration by the overwhelmed staff and by angry, injured protestors who land up besieging the building.

Essentially the film makes you a “fly-on-the-wall” showing us what a night at the emergency department of a French hospital might look like an evening of a protest, a place of divide and a place of connection where people from all backgrounds and lives can meet.

Six years after the start of the Yellow Jacket movement, which profoundly impacted French politics, this film provides a lens into how people from different backgrounds experienced it, creating unlikely connections.
In December, we will host a follow-up screening featuring a documentary on the same theme. This documentary includes perspectives from French officials, lawyers, jurists, ministers, and protestors, exploring views on the concept of “legitimate violence” within democracies and the rule of law.

If you've got a smidge of French skills, you are in for a treat! Engage in dynamic movie discussions with Marie from Learnfrenchwithmissmarie.com, who will make sure you pick up new words and phrases along the way!

Drinks will be available at the bar.
