At the height of her fame in 1973, Brigitte Bardot walked away from cinema to fight for animals. This powerful portrait traces her meteoric career and her radical transformation into a fearless activist—an icon who reshaped womanhood and pioneered a cause that still resonates today.

J'ai les mêmes sentiments que Brigitte j'ai mal là au fond quand on fait du mal aux animaux 🐴🐄🐰🦃🐤🐕🐺🦊🐘🦒🦢🕊
Ask her son what a great woman she was! I also love and contribute to animals,
Ces images m'ont radIcalisées et du jour en lendemain je suis devenue végétarienne. Merci BB !❤❤
Хорошо быть борцом за права животных, когда ты звезда. Когда тебя ангажируют известные компании и бренды, пока ты демонстрируешь любовь к животным. Ты поможешь нам – мы поможем твоим зверюшкам. Хорошо, когда к этой борьбе подключили прессу и TV, а когда ты умрешь, то тебе устроят поклонение , как святой. Она да – святая, с такими то деньжищами и связями. А та бабка-пенсионерка, которая выкладывает свою пенсию, чтобы выхаживать, кормить, стерилизовать бездомных кошек и собак, лечить калечных птиц , которых изуродовали чьи то отпрыски, потом получать за это побои от придурка-соседа, и умереть , так и не дождавшись правосудия и никто не устроил пышные похороны с песнями на ее могиле, так что не надо устраивать ей поклонения – та бабка их заслужила больше…
Great! It’s so inspiring, although I don’t understand French I know what she means about the Animals. I speak English.
Une immense dame 😮
🎉Que bella se te ve con las particula que tiene nesecidad de un poco de Amor.
Seguro tendrás un empujón de la verdad en el + allá para que su Espiritu tenga una evolución ¡ Brigitte cuidaba bien a los animalito es un sentimiento que deveriamos tener todo.
Yeah junior was obsessed
Flavie FLAMENT.
Some of us can notice the incoherence in current society. I am Professor Kirchoff, historian and we use BB as a good example for the class. I just wanna say that we are talking about people’s hypocrisy. They hated her when she raised her voice against immigration, muslims culture invading France, homosexuality, etc. she stay her ground. She defended animals and after her career she decided to stay natural. That’s coherent with loving nature but people today don’t care about that rationality. They defend nature and still make botox, dyed the hair etc. thats not loving nature. They say she shouldn’t defend French values but adore her for being french: white and Celtic. They claim she is a racist but if she were arab, Latino, black or another race they wouldn’t like her that much. Racism is women like Shakira that is Arab descendent pretending to be celtic and white when she is not. Beyonce that is black dyed her hair blonde pretending to be Bardot. Racism is not accepting your race and struggle making a mask of who you want to become. Bardot is a Celtic icon, a white woman defending her heritage not because she hates others but because she don’t want her people to disappear. If you love nature know that we notice that you are lying, because you can’t live without your chemical industry and your desire to become what you are not. I am German, danish, indigenous.. a mutt. I don’t dyed my hair, I defend nature, l was born as a ginger and I am still the same redhead. I have 13 cats, 6 dogs, 2 goldfish. Coherent with my beliefs. Briggite was an genuine, she was right the society we live in is sick, shallow, incoherent and vain. No one accepts what they are as form of fear and despair. Read Kierkegaard. Haters: I never ever read comments, don’t lose time with me! Go and dyed your hair blonde pretending to be what you are not, it is hard to have the courage to be a real human being the biggest rebellion today! We are a revolution! And you, BB beautiful angel, at your last years you were more beautiful than ever, what a star!
Je ne ma suis jamais beaucoup interessee a Brigitte Bardot l'actrice, MAIS j'ai enormement de reconnaissance et de respect pour Brigitte Bardot, la protectrice des animaux!!!

'Mutti' together with Claudia Schaffer and Cindy Crawford and Christie Turlington you should be or you delegate it to your interview son, a half brother about the distributions deal of my dramatized documentary about the life and works (part one) of Hieronymus Bosch 1450 – 1516 which won an Academy Awards Oscar but was totally plagiarized just contact the University of Amsterdam and the University of Antwerp especially the 'Landsvrouwe der Wereld' Prof. Dr. Christel C.

This is the way gorgeous sex symbol should conduct themselves gracefully in their advancing age. Bless her Heart & Soul….
