Marking the 40th anniversary of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation—established in 1986—and coming just months after the icon's passing on December 28, 2025, this program explores BB's true legacy. Joined by numerous guests, Stéphane Bern paints a portrait of a woman who transformed her fame into a powerful tool for driving action, legislation, animal rescues, and public mobilization on behalf of the animal cause.

In 1973, at age 39, Brigitte Bardot decides to stop her acting career at the height of her fame to dedicate herself to Animal welfare and protection. Her rebellious nature finds in this cause a genuine expression of who she really is. This intimate portrait including exclusive interviews provides a unique account of her journey as a movie icon turning into a radical advocate for wildlife protection ahead of her time.
