Movie night: “Proxima”

Film by Alice Winocour (2019).
Aimé Schoenig Student Residence – Richter Site – Montpellier.

Sarah is a French astronaut who is about to leave Earth for a year-long mission called Proxima. As she undergoes the rigorous training required of astronauts, the only woman among men, she is preparing above all for the separation from her 8-year-old daughter.

"The reason I made the film was to show a superheroine who is also a mother. Cinema doesn't often portray these two things in the same person, as if they were incompatible... So the message of Proxima is that you can do both: be a mother and have a great career. It's a message of liberation" — Alice Winocour.
