Simone de Beauvoir

Simone De Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Satre and their friends discuss the events and involvements that shaped her life and opinions - from the Spanish Civil War to the Paris Riots of 1968. Her lucid, perceptive observations on people and events of the last 50 years exhibit the formidable power of exhilarating intelligence.
