“[This] enthralling courtroom drama navigates the contradictions of a left-wing outlaw.” — Guy Lodge, Variety

In 1975 Pierre Goldman (Arieh Worthalter), a fiery left-wing figure and revolutionary activist, goes on trial in France, in this dramatization of actual events. Accused of multiple crimes including two murders, Goldman proclaims his innocence. Twenty years before the O.J. Simpson case, the Goldman trial reflects the political, ideological, and racial tensions that marked the 1970s in France and Europe. Considered the trial of the century in its day, the case divided an entire country and widened the gap between the conservative right and left-wing intellectuals.
