Ciné-Club - Une affaire de principe

Join us for a French movie night as we watch this real story inspired French movie, Une Affaire de Principe (2024), directed by Antoine Raimbault.

‘‘2012, John Dalli, the European Commissioner for Health, is accused of corruption and influence peddling related to the tobacco industry. French Member of the European Parliament José Bové, maverick politician and prominent figure of the environmental party, suspects a setup by the tobacco manufacturer Swedish Match, potentially involving the President of the European Commission, José Barroso. Standing alone against all odds, he decides to investigate and unravel this story, which shook the foundations of the entire European institutions.’’

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the movie led by Abdel Hamouchi, one of our French Instructors who is passionate about cinema.

In French with English subtitles - 1h36
