This Thursday evening, at the Locarno festival in Switzerland, a French film was screened on the Grand-Place of the city: Annie Anger. Five years after the success of Dawn, its director Blandine Lenoir looks back on the history of MLAC, this feminist collective which, in the early 1970s, helped women in distress to have abortions. The film follows in the footsteps of Annie (Laure Calamy), a worker whose encounter with this collective will plunge into the post-May-68 feminist deep end.
