Overview

Late 80’s in Northern France, women are being sexually assaulted along the same road by the Samber river – with attacks taking place early mornings and in a similar style. The police fail to get to grips with the extent of these assaults or make a connection between the cases. The justice system is overwhelmed by the accumulating cases. It will take 30 years to catch a man, who never stopped attacking women and is responsible for at least 54 cases of rape or sexual assault.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grinding procedural account of decades of institutional negligence that allowed a serial predator to operate with near total impunity. The series is an angry indictment of systems that failed women again and again, told with unflinching attention to the human cost.
