Proud is a 2026 French drama miniseries directed by Karol Klementewicz, comprising three episodes that trace one family across several decades as France itself undergoes landmark shifts in how it recognises and legislates LGBTQ+ rights.
What is Proud about?
Three generations of the same French family find their relationships tested, reshaped, and ultimately illuminated by pivotal moments in the country's evolving approach to gay rights. Each fifty-minute episode is anchored in a specific historical turning point, using the intimate lens of family life to show how legislation, prejudice, and acceptance ripple outward from public squares into living rooms. Sons keep secrets from fathers. Fathers carry wounds they cannot name. The series resists easy resolutions, instead showing how love and shame can coexist within the same bloodline across time. What changes is not only the law but the language families use to speak — or refuse to speak — about who they are.
Cast & crew
The series stars Stanislas Nordey, a celebrated figure in French theatre and cinema known for emotionally precise performances; Frédéric Pierrot, a veteran of French film whose understated authority anchors ensemble work; and Samuel Theis, filmmaker and actor whose background gives him a particularly grounded sensibility. All three are directed by Karol Klementewicz, whose episodic structure allows each lead space to inhabit a distinct era.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers and the Iranian diaspora, Proud carries resonances that extend well beyond its French setting. Questions of family honour, the gap between private identity and public persona, and the cost of silence across generations are themes that travel across cultures. The miniseries format — three focused episodes rather than a sprawling season — suits diaspora viewing habits: it can be watched in an evening, discussed at length. The series arrives with Persian dubbing available on K-Time, lowering the language barrier entirely and making it accessible to viewers who prefer to watch in their mother tongue even when the source material is foreign.
