La Fille de Brest est un film français réalisé par Emmanuelle Bercot, sorti en France le 23 novembre 2016. C'est une adaptation du livre Mediator 150 mg : combien de morts ? de la pneumologue Irène Frachon, du CHU de Brest, retraçant sa lutte pour révéler ce qui deviendra l'affaire du Mediator et dénoncer les risques de ce médicament commercialisé par les laboratoires Servier. Le film a ouvert le Festival international du film de Saint-Sébastien 2016 et a été présenté en clôture du Festival de Cinéma des Alternatives de Versailles le 30 avril 2017.

Synopsis

En février 2009, confrontés à des cas de valvulopathie et d'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire, des médecins du CHU de Brest soupçonnent un lien avec la prise d'un médicament, le Mediator, commercialisé par les laboratoires Servier. La pneumologue Irène Frachon, aidée d'un chercheur, le professeur Le Bihan, s'improvise lanceuse d'alerte. Ces provinciaux candides ne cherchent qu'à sauver des vies. Mais, à Paris, ils découvrent un univers bien peu préoccupé d'intérêt général. L'argent règne en maître et « des laboratoires pharmaceutiques arrivent à prendre le contrôle des autorités de santé » : universitaires stipendiés, arrogants et brutaux, commissions d'experts dévoyées par les conflits d'intérêts… Le Bihan, en tant que chercheur, est vite neutralisé. On l'accable de mépris, on lui coupe les crédits et il n'a plus qu'à s'exiler au Canada.

Luca Di Angelo (Fabio Testi) is a smuggler, one member of an organized team trafficking cigarettes and booze up and down the coast off Naples, Italy. After a run-in with the police in which the smugglers manage to get away by faking a boat explosion resulting in the police motorboats responding to the false emergency allowing the smugglers to get away, Luca and his brother Mickey suspect Scherino (Ferdinand Murolo), the head of a rival gang of smugglers, of passing on their actives. Lucia and Mickey take their accusations to their boss Perlante (Saverio Marconi) a sleazy playboy withy numerous Mafia connections, who agrees to look into it. After a nighttime fire at Mickey's racing stables kills a valued racehorse, he and Luca drive over to inspect the damage.

The disease spreads through blood and spit, but can also spread through spores created by the fungus, which needs an unknown trigger to be opened. The few surviving members of the human race live in heavily-guarded Birmingham.
