Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent The daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, Caroline Darian, is the narrator of a gripping documentary that chronicles the trial of the mass rape case involving her parents and sheds light on the use of drugs to commit sexual abuse.
Titled “Chemical Submission, May Shame Change Camp,” the documentary is produced by the award-winning Paris-based company CAPA (“Wagner, Putin’s Shadow Army”) and commissioned by French public broadcaster France Televisions.
The feature-length documentary was written by Linda Bendali (“Crisis Cell”) and Andrea Rawlins Gaston. Bendali is directing, while Rawlins Gaston and Patrice Lorton are producing.
Rawlins Gaston has directed many socially-engaged series and documentaries exploring issues such as incest, rape and harassment, including “Infrarouge” and “Inceste, Le dire et l’entendre.” Darian became an activist after her life unraveled in November 2020 upon discovering that her beloved father, with whom she had a close relationship, had drugged and raped her mother along with dozens of strangers for over 10 years.
