La Loi
Synopsis
Directed by French director Christian Faure and released in 2014, *The Law* follows three days in late fall 1974 of intense debate in the French National Assembly over a bill to legalize "voluntary termination of pregnancy." At the center of the bill is Simone Veil, portrayed by Emmanuelle Devos (also in *The Other Son*), who served as Minister of Health in the Jacques Chirac government under President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. During the three days of heated discussion, Veil, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, faces political maneuvering, personal solitude, confrontational arguments, and threats against her family. Despite these challenges, Veil remains resolute.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
