Demonstrators in Paris blocked the French debut of Roman Polanski’s new movie, An Officer and a Spy, after a fresh allegation against the director

Protesters disrupted the first screening in France of Roman Polanski’s new film on Tuesday, after the publication of a new rape accusation against the French-Polish director.

A group of about 40 activists blocked the screening of the French premiere of Polanski’s J’accuse (An Officer and a Spy) at a cinema in Rue Champollion, although the film was screened elsewhere in Paris.
