A French TV film about the 2015 terror attack on the Bataclan music venue in Paris has been shelved amid backlash from victims’ associations. Broadcast France 2, which says it is still editing “Ce soir-la (That Night),” the movie about the incident that claimed over 100 lives, but it’s transmission will be postponed until they have “widely consulted” with the victims groups.
Claire Peltier, whose partner David was one of the victim’s killed in the attack, has lead the mission to pause the broadcast of “such a painful” story, with a petition that has attracted 39,000 signatures. “We are scandalized that such a film could see the light of day so soon after such a violent event,” Peltier wrote.
