Oct 14th : HAPPENING

The 2022 PROXY Fall Series of outdoor cinema continues on Friday, October 14th at the PROXY Community Walk-in Theater with:

 

HAPPENING

Directed by Audrey Diwan, 2021 [R]

 

 

“Timely and urgent, ‘Happening’ is a film that speaks to today’s abortion debate”  – Justin Chang,  NPR

 

Set in 1963 France, in a society when abortion was still illegal and women’s desires are censured, Anne is a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant, she sees the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of her working-class background disappearing.  This simple but cruel story follows the itinerary of a woman who decides to go against the law, facing social ostracization and even prison for taking back her body.  A timely tale, Happening is compassionate, brutally honest, and serves as both a transfixing drama and an urgent reminder of the need to protect women’s reproductive rights.
