A committed producer who looked to the South and strong themes (becoming a producer after a long career of international journalism, where she covered the Vietnam War), Michèle Ray-Gavras has produced films by Mehdi Charef, Tony Gatlif or Jean Teulé. Her long and fruitful collaboration with her husband has resulted in masterpieces of contemporary cinema: Hanna K., Amen... In 2017, she produced the first film by Rayhana, I Still Hide to Smoke, with an entirely female cas.
