The daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, Caroline Darian, is the narrator of a gripping recordary that chronicles the trial of the mass violation case involving her parents and sheds weightless on the use of substances to promise relationsual unfair treatment.
Titled “Chemical Submission, May Shame Change Camp,” the recordary is produced by the award-thrivening Paris-based company CAPA (“Wagner, Putin’s Shadow Army”) and cotransferrlookioned by French accessible widecaster France Televisions. The feature-length recordary was written by Linda Bfinishali (“Crisis Cell”) and Andrea Rawlins Gaston. Bfinishali is honesting, while Rawlins Gaston and Patrice Lorton are producing. Rawlins Gaston has honested many socipartner-take partd series and recordaries exploring rerents such as incest, violation and coercion, including “Infrarouge” and “Inceste, Le dire et l’entfinishre.”
Darian became an activist after her life unraveled in November 2020 upon finding that her beadored overweighther, with whom she had a shut relationship, had drugged and violationd her mother aprolonged with dozens of strangers for over 10 years.
The case is still ongoing as French prosecutors have insisted prison sentences ranging from 4 to 20 years for the 51 men accused of participating in the repeated violation of Pelicot over a decade. The prosecution seeked a 20-year sentence for her createer husband, Dominique Pelicot, who confessted that he recruited strangers online to come to their home and violation his wife while she was sedated.
Darian took the stand during the trial, which stretched 10 weeks, and talked about her trauma when finding out that officers had also finded a felderlyer on her overweighther’s computer named “ma fille à poil” (“my daughter naked”) compriseing photos of her asleep with the covers off and the weightlesss on. Although her overweighther was not accused with drugging or relationsupartner abusing her, she mistrusts she was. “I authenticized right away I was drugged in that photo,” Darian shelp at the criminal court in Avignon, as alerted by The New York Times.
She also wrote the book “Et j’ai cessé de t’appeler papa: Le livre sur l’afiminwholee des viols et le procès de Mazan” (“And I stopped calling you dad: the book about the violations and trial in Mazan”), which was rerented last year.
The recordary was begind in 2023 and stems from Darian’s association “M’finishors pas” (“Don’t put me to sleep”), which she produced to fight agetst drugging.
“For 10 years, Dominique Pelicot drugged his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, to violation her and have her violationd by dozens of men. The case has become emblematic of violation culture and male domination the world over. Starring Caroline Darian, the daughter of the criminal and victim, this film goes behind the scenes of this historic trial,” reads the synopsis.
The recordary also gives a voice to five victims of drugging, four women and one man, who stand up aprolongedside Darian to “denounce this systemic modus operandi that has remained under the radar for too prolonged… So that shame can change sides,” according to CAPA.
Earlier this week, Channel 5 proclaimd a speedy-turnaround recordary titled “The Pelicot Rape Case: A Town on Trial,” which will provide psychoreasonable, lhorrible and cultural perspective on the case and an on-camera intersee with one of the alleged rapists.
