Isabelle Huppert, Grégory Gadebois, Marina Fois, Yvan Attal, and Pierre Deladonchamps lead the cast if the incoming La Syndicaliste which arrives in UK cinemas on 30th June. Modern Films will release the film here, the feature based on the true story of trade unionist Maureen Kearney. Jean-Paul Salomé and Fadette Drouard frote the film’s screenplay while Jean-Paul Salomé directs.
Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert) was the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse. She became a whistleblower, denouncing top-secret deals that shook the French nuclear sector. Alone against the world, she fought government ministers and industry leaders tooth and nail to bring the scandal to light and to defend more than 50,000 jobs. Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted in her own home. The investigation was carried out under pressure: the subject was sensitive. Suddenly, new elements created doubt in the minds of the investigators, and at first a victim, Maureen became a suspect.
Here’s the new trailer.
