Badinter

This creation Badinter is therefore not the summary of a lifetime. Presenting the man on stage is a demanding bet: one must not betray the person under any circumstances. The pieces of the puzzle of destiny Badinter all end up in the collective memory to its position against the death penalty. How does he come to be the figure of abolition? Here is the question we asked ourselves.

Starting with his speech on 17 September 1981 at Palais Bourbon, we trace the events of his life to understand how they led him to pursue the fight for a more humane justice system with such strength and determination, echoing Victor Hugo, who wrote: "As long as the death penalty exists, entering a criminal court will feel cold, and it will be dark inside." (Actes et paroles 1862)

To conclude, to the question of Bernard Pivot to culture broth "Si Dieu exists, what would you like after your death, hear him tell you?" He said, "You did what you could, come in." We want to make it heard, we want to show to see, we want to give to feel that "little" that he suggests with modesty, which in reality for us is a lot ".
