Le Balai Libéré - Directora

Coline Grando

Born in France, she obtained a Master in Directing at the IAD (Brussels) in 2015, with her graduation film “Les Saisons”. He directed his first documentary feature film “La Place de l’homme” produced by Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles. In 2019 he continues to explore abortion, but this time from the point of view of the doctors who perform it with “Les mains des femmes”, commissioned by the Fédération Laïque des Centres de Planification Familial and the CVB. The film gives a glimpse of the doctors in their practice. “How do doctors who perform abortions feel? Why do they do it? What do they get? Where do their beliefs and convictions lie?”.
