The Gisèle Pelicot Story: Shame Has to Change Sides

Come Closer

Show Notes

When Gisèle Pelicot found out what had been done to her, she made a decision that nobody expected. Part Two covers the trial, the 50 men, the verdict, and what Gisèle Pelicot did that no law could have required her to do and why it matters for every woman who comes after her.

She waived her anonymity. She demanded a public trial. She sat in that courtroom every single day and she made them look at her.

This is what accountability actually looks like. And it's because of her. Credits: Video editor / Sound Design: [email protected]
