A man in a brown suit stands in a courtroom dock. He points his hand out like a gun, aiming at two French police officers sat down next to him.

About The Goldman Case

A tense, edge-of-the-seat courtroom drama powerfully recreating the trial of Pierre Goldman in 1976 France, widely acknowledged as the most divisive case since the Dreyfus Affair of 1894.

Prosecuted for a triple murder during the armed robbery of a Parisian pharmacy, Goldman, the rebellious son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, whose father was also a decorated Resistance fighter, refused to call any witnesses to his character. Politically on the far left and defiantly Jewish in his identity, Goldman accused the police of institutional antisemitism and racism, and of conspiring to convict him of a crime of which he was innocent.
