Actors such as Julie Gaye, Laure Calami, Geraldine Nakash, Zita Anro and others signed the petition.
“We encounter sexual violence, bullying and racism very often in the workplace. When we dare to raise our voices or ask for help in a petition, we often hear: “Please be quiet for the life of the movie”.
