French Actress Advocates for Inquiry into Film Industry's Sex Crimes

Judith Godrèche testifies before the French Senate, urging action against sexual violence and sexism in cinema.

Judith Godrèche, a leading figure in France's #MeToo movement, has called for a commission to investigate sex crimes and sexism in the French film industry.
Godrèche accused directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon of sexually assaulting her as a teenager, both of whom deny the allegations.
She has received 4,500 testimonies from victims of sexual violence since launching an appeal on social media.
Godrèche also called for the removal of Dominique Boutonnat, president of the National Centre of Cinema, who has been accused of sexually assaulting his godson.
Proposals include the appointment of independent guardians for underage actors and an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes.
