Disobedience: The Choice of Chantale Daigle tells the story of Chantale Daigle (Eleanor Loiselle), who, at the age of 21, became Jean-Guy Tremblay (Antoine Pilon), a man who will turn out to be manipulative and aggressive. After a stormy relationship, she leaves him, opting for an abortion… but Jean-Guy, hurt in his pride and anxious to keep their relationship alive, appeals to the judiciary to prevent this. Against all odds, a judge rules in Jean-Guy’s favour, even though abortion had been decriminalized a year earlier. The case is reviving the debate about abortion nationally and internationally. After becoming the center of a media and political whirlwind, Chantale sees her life turned upside down forever. Will she find the strength to see her choice through to the end?
The series is produced by Les productions ALSO (Sophie Lorain and Alexis Durand Brault) in collaboration with Bell Media.
