In 1972 16-year-old Marie-Claire became pregnant after a rape. With help from her mother Michelle and three other women, she underwent a clandestine abortion. Under a 1920 law, the five women were arrested and charged. Supported by a procession of well-known French (eg Simone de Beauvoir), the five were released and the law was adapted.
Le Procès de Bobigny was directed by François Luciani.
Le Procès de Bobigny runs for 1h 28min, and was released in 2006.
