Film & TV

Simone Weil (1909–1943) philosophized on thresholds and across borders. Her persistent desire for truth and justice led her to both elite academies and factory floors, political praxis and spiritual solitude. At different times she was an activist, a pacifist, a militant, a mystic, and an exile; but throughout, in her inquiry into reality and orientation to the good, she remained a philosopher.

Simone Adolphine Weil (Paris, 3 de fevereiro de 1909 – Ashford, 24 de agosto de 1943) foi uma escritora, mística e filósofa francesa, que se tornou operária da Renault para escrever sobre o cotidiano dentro das fábricas. Lutou na Guerra Civil Espanhola, ao lado dos republicanos, e na Resistência Francesa, em Londres; por ser bastante conhecida, foi impedida de retornar à França como pretendia; acometida de tuberculose, não teria admitido se alimentar além da ração diária permitida aos soldados, nos campos de batalha, ou aos civis pelos tickets de racionamento. Com a progressiva deterioração de seu estado de saúde, em estado de desnutrição, faleceu poucos dias depois de seu internamento hospitalar.
